One City Worship 2025 | Vineyard Columbus - Westerville
Jun 4, 2025 (UTC-4)
Westerville
One City Worship is an all-city gathering of the Christian community in Central Ohio. Formerly known as ONE NIGHT, this event brings together thousands of people from hundreds of local church communities for prayer and worship. We celebrate our oneness as we collectively worship Jesus and pray for our city.
We are not here to seek our own agendas or our own ideas. Instead, we are coming to draw close to Jesus and seek the heart of God. We want to collectively hear what Jesus has to say to the Church of Columbus and listen to His vision for our city.
As we draw people into an encounter to BEHOLD Jesus and His glory, our heart posture is to conform to His image and BECOME more like Jesus. As we draw near to His heartbeat and listen to His promises and His will, we resolve to BELIEVE what He is saying to us and BLESS each other and our city with His Presence.
