At Vineyard Columbus, we are committed to our whole church being engaged with the whole world, both locally and globally. Whether supporting long-term work and sending short-term teams around the world, or through serving international communities right here in Central Ohio, we are excited to be partnering with God in bringing his kingdom to the whole world. Read more below to see how you can get involved!
Immigrants and refugees to the Columbus area need our outreach and support. Our Local International Ministry provides opportunities for all of us to easily plug in and serve. You can engage with our international community through outreach events and ESL classes. Our desire is to love international friends in practical ways:
English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are a ministry of Vineyard Columbus dedicated to equipping refugees and immigrants by providing teaching which increases their functional grasp of the English language in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Volunteer International Ministry (VIM) Teams are campus-specific and churchwide teams where you can serve with others in International Ministries. To help pray and care for missionaries, host campus events, organize international trips, and serve alongside others in all things international, click the link below.

This trip is a wonderful opportunity to serve and invest in children, youth, and families working long-term across the Muslim world. This trip will expose you to a large community of people committed to working cross-culturally in challenging places and will position you not only to directly invest in encouraging and supporting them, but will allow you to learn, be challenged, and get a vision for God’s work among the nations of the world. A beautiful location and a wonderful opportunity to serve in ways that make a real difference in the world. If you are a 20-something person of color or third-culture person, this is especially for you.
