Vineyard Columbus church is a big Christian non-denominational church in the Columbus neighbourhood…read moreof Westerville, Ohio. Although big, the church has various small groups that meet during the week and weekends in homes or sometimes at the church. These groups are Bible study groups. Some groups are social groups as well. There is always a way to get connected with others even though the church is big. Attendance declined a little bit after COVID but many people still come to Vineyard Columbus or the other smaller campus locations. The lead Pastor for a long time was Rich Nathan. In 2021, Eric and Julia Pickerill became the lead Pastors but stepped down in winter 2026. Currently, Vineyard Columbus is searching for a new full time main Pastor. I attended Vineyard Columbus when I lived in Columbus during my University/College years. I loved the sermons and the optional small group meetings. Back then, there used to be a young adults group called Joshua House that had various social outings and praise and worship nights. I enjoyed attending a retreat once with Joshua's House which was fun. Church is welcoming/inviting and they offer complimentary tea and coffee in an open gathering area. They also offer free used and new books in this open area. They have Spanish services available too which is nice. Overall, I would recommend Vineyard Columbus for those looking for a new church home. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 63/250 total reviews in 2026 - 904 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 April 2026

This was my third time at this church. I've been before with my parents and my best friend, but…read morethis time, came with another friend who had never been. We came to the 11:30 service. It didn't get overly packed. A lot of people came late and even while Rich started preaching. Lol. It's known for being culturally diverse which is cool! I'll bet it's easier to find more of these types of churches in larger cities. Worship is always good. Longer than I'm used to. They sing a good mix of gospel, some older contemporary, and newer contemporary. The singers are so talented! They have such powerful voices! They are so aware of culture that they also sang one part of a song in Spanish. Awesome! The sermon is academic. Rich Nathan used to teach at OSU, so it makes sense that he'll bring in all kinds of knowledge into his sermon. They're long. It may've been an hour long sermon, I think? They speak openly about social issues and are aware of things that the city is failing to do. But they don't say this to point fingers, they say it to show that churches can do more to help the community. They even help out with ESL! They guide you through communion which I think is fantastic! Not sure why some church plants don't do this... they even read the scripture in another language! On Sunday, the guy read it in Farsi! Very cool! It's a nice church! I've never had trouble with parking or anything. There are two lots on either side of the building. There's also a cafe in here that serves food! It always smells good and I would love to try it if I'm ever back here again. A lady greeted us at the door which was nice. They don't have greeters into the sanctuary. I'm so used to it that it was different that they don't do this. But it's only because they have the pamphlets and communion stuff prepacked on a table before you take a seat.

I never doubt if my kids are safe and loved in the children's programs. Pastor Matt is a man of God who preaches what he feels God calling him to without fear of societal pressure.

Service is about 75 min with at least 15 min of music. Highly recommend!!

Pastor Greg delivers a wonderful sermon full of truth and encouragement. With love, I only wish the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist were approached more deeply. It is not just symbolic, but the true Body and Blood of Christ as given in Scripture. The way it is shared feels too casual, and I long for the depth and reverence of this sacred gift. Still, the love of Jesus is present here, and the heart and intent are genuine. I will continue coming back for worship and fellowship, while also attending my other churches where I can fully receive the Body and Blood of Christ. God knows no fear, and He calls us to plant His seed of truth in love. Thank you, Pastor Greg and all who serve--you are deeply appreciated.

But, Nathan, our tour guide was friendly, personable, fun, helpful and a font of interesting information regarding some of the places on the National Registry in this area, and historic landmarks all of which I sadly knew nothing about. He was funny, took time to answer questions, and was very patient and supportive of the inquisitive two elementary-aged kids on the bus. Russ, the driver of our small, but very comfortable, AC bus, was also very helpful as he assisted me with my walker to get on, off, and about the different stops along the tour. It was also pretty amazing to see how Russ was able to drive our small tour bus through some of the narrow entrances and exits of different locations like Blendon Central Cemetery off Hempstead Rd. One of the other staff members on the tour bus, Will, went above and beyond to help my wife and me get into the buildings and locations available to us on the tour. Sometimes assisted me with my walker fin an effort to allow me access to some of these beautiful churches, a log cabin and other places that I otherwise would not have been able to see. It was especially fun when we went in to the old, historic landmark of the Central College Presbyterian Church, where we learned the history of this beautiful church with the stained glass windows. There's still time to view the amazingly beautiful and touching display of flags this Memorial Day weekend at the Flag of Heroes commemorative during this weekend. And, if you have the chance, say hello to Nathan, Russ, and Will who will take you on the Heritage Tour of Westerville at the Field of Heroes at County-Line Rd. and Cleveland Ave.
