Released to Flourish

The Path to Independence

For nearly two decades, Vineyard Columbus has pursued its mission through multiple campuses across Central Ohio. As we looked toward the future, we entered a season of prayer, listening, discernment, and consultation to evaluate how we could best support the long-term health and effectiveness of each campus while continuing to advance the Kingdom in Central Ohio and beyond.

The discernment process included input from outside advisors, Vineyard USA leaders, Campus Advisory Teams, pastors, church leaders, prayer teams, and many members of our church family. Through that process, a clear vision emerged: each campus may be able to flourish more effectively as an independent Vineyard Church, focused more directly on the unique needs and opportunities within its local community.

We call this vision Released to Flourish. This webpage exists to provide updates, milestones, timelines, and resources as each campus progresses through its journey toward independence.

Being released to flourish means more than becoming independent. It means taking thoughtful steps to help each congregation begin its next chapter with a strong foundation, capable leadership, and the resources and support needed to thrive as a local church.
