WELCOME

There is a light on for you.

Harborlight Community Church has kept a light on for Columbus families since 2004. We are a congregation of ordinary people learning to follow Jesus together: through scripture, through prayer, and through showing up for one another in the everyday work of life.

You do not have to have it all figured out to walk through these doors. Come as you are on a Sunday morning, sit wherever you like, and let us pour the coffee. Our hope is that you leave a little more carried than when you arrived.

MINISTRIES

There is a place for you here

Five ministries, one harbor. Two split rows point the way:

HarborWorship

One church, two stages: hymns with the choir at 9:00 and a full band at 10:45. Open auditions the first Sunday of every month, so start humming.

Light the City

Twelve partners across Columbus and a serve day every month: food drives, warm meals, and hands that show up. Faith looks like something here.

We planted this church with one prayer: that nobody in this city would have to row home alone. Twenty-two years later, that is still the whole job description.
