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'm new to the Columbus area and visited this church on 1/17/16. Pros: Spirit-filled, wonderful…read moremusic/worship from the praise team and choir (high energy and free-flowing), excellent sermon (message and delivery) from the Senior Pastor, variety of age groups throughout the congregation (from young adults to mature), very friendly people and welcoming environment. Cons: Unorganized (we asked several people who were serving where children's ministry was held and the common response was "I'm not sure." or "I think it's this way."), the children's ministry was more like babysitting than ministry curriculum (watching Veggie Tales and random coloring pages). People in the choir were still going up on stage to join the group well after service started...like 10-15 minutes after. The service lasted about 2 hours (the pastor said he was speaking longer than usual that day). Overall, I had a great experience and would go again.

Will do all that praising, but after service will look you dead in your face and won't say a word!!!! As far as the Pastor..... LOVE HIM!!! , full of the word of God!!!

He has a beautiful, kind wife, and a great mother whom both are very friendly! Give this church a try, if you want to hear a good word, and worship

The lobby area is tighter than the UA campus, but it's good because greeters are more apt to see you and talk to you. They seem to be much nicer here. They were selling apparel in the lobby, so I had to take a look. Got myself a windbreaker to rep the church. I recognize a lot more faces at this campus. It was nice. Service was great. The singers on stage were also good. Seems like more undergrads tend to be at this campus since it's close by. You can sit upstairs in the balcony or downstairs. The space is smaller than UA, but it's a good size since UA has more people. They have Wednesday and Sunday night services too. We were at the 10:45am service and it was still filled with lots of people. I saw a few families, older people, and definitely some students. Parking is tricky. Since I volunteer here on occasion, I know to drive through into the second spot. Otherwise, wait a while before leaving. Would love to come back again though! I enjoyed the energy on stage. The high ceilings also made the space feel a bit more open. They're made of wood. I felt close to nature. Lol.

I absolutely needed GPS to get out here. Plenty of parking and easy in and out of the lot. The service was lovely and the pastor spoke and invited everyone for food and drinks post services. The church was much larger than I first thought. It goes in and branches off to the sides and more toward the back. I noticed it the church had good natural lighting. The sanctuary was huge and filled with people for the service. I did note that there were no church pews but comfortable chairs.

He's in his mid 30s, so he down to earth, easy to relate with, and his sermons are always in layman's terms, so constantly challenge my thinking. He's wonderful with giving background context - what's going on outside the immediate Christian world, with makes it even easy - and intriguing - to follow along. This church has grown over the many years. I remember when member attendance was a solid 35-40 every Sunday. Now it's averaging at least 250 members. Along with member grown, youth involvement is raising. From community work for elderly members, to missions trips to Italy and Switzerland, involving the youth has been fantastic.

Pastors spend many years in school learning the languages to then teach the congregation right out of the Bible versus from their recollect or swaying conscience.
