First Church will no longer stream worship services directly to Facebook. Over the last several months, Facebook's frequent platform changes and issues have forced our volunteer team to troubleshoot problems in real time. Services will continue to stream live on YouTube, and links will be shared on Facebook, so viewers can easily find each broadcast.

We apologize for the change and hope you will consider subscribing to our YouTube channel by clicking the link below!

We are a vibrant open and affirming faith community located in Columbus, Ohio. Worship and social justice are at the heart of all we do!

We are so excited for the return of Godly Play with Ms. Melissa and Mr. Todd this Sunday at 9 a.m.! Did you know Melissa & Todd have taught Sunday School together for over 12 years?! That’s a whole lot of love for teaching God’s word to children!!!

One of the things Ms. Melissa loves about Godly Play is that it is hands-on Montessori style, so children can immerse themselves in the lesson and make it their own story. Every lesson is followed up with “I wonder” questions that encourage them to think deeply about their faith. Check out the “I Wonder” bulletin board outside the classroom and add your own I wonder questions!
