THE VERITAS STORY

Veritas was born out of a desire to see a gospel-centered church community exist in Columbus. In the winter of 2007, church planters arrived in Columbus and began to meet with a handful of friends to pray and plan about starting Veritas. God provided friends and leaders to journey through planting a church. Through both times of disappointments and great encouragement, God continued to affirm that their hope of beginning Veritas was aligned with His.

October 5th, 2008 Veritas officially launched gatherings in an old church building on Neil Ave and Fourth Ave. The leaders prayed, toiled, and thankfully some people joined the family. God multiplied Veritas from a handful to a city-full with three congregations across Columbus.

Since 2008, Veritas went from a few people to over a thousand people across three congregations. Our hope and prayer since the beginning has not changed--we still desire to be transformed by the gospel to transform our city and the world with the gospel!

WE ARE REDEEMED BY JESUS TO MAKE DISCIPLES THROUGH REAL RELATIONSHIPS THAT RENEW COMMUNITIES WITH THE GOSPEL.

One Church,
Three Congregations.

We're one church because we're one people and the body of Christ together. We're one church because our family stretches across the city.

We're three congregations because none of our buildings could serve all of the communities we care about and it enables us to steward what God has given us more effectively.

WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?

VALUES

Lord, let our lives be marked by these:

Wholeheartedness

Friendship

Conviction & Creativity

Diversity

Renewal & Delight

RHYTHMS

Worship

We treasure, seek, and enjoy God by receiving his grace and loving him above all else with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.

Community

We experience and express God’s relational character through life together, not merely through shared preferences, but around the common identity we have as believers reconciled in Jesus.

Service

We are called to follow Jesus’ example by laying down our lives, to love and care for those inside and outside the church.

Mission

The good news of salvation compels us to share about the hope we have in Jesus and to make disciples of all those who don’t know him, here and around the world.

Learning

Through his Spirit, God has revealed himself to us in the gospel of Jesus. We find Him in his Living Word, where he invites us to know Him as He truly is.
