CO-LEAD PASTOR

WHO IS ANCF?
All Nations Christian Fellowship (ANCF) consists of a diverse group of people from different communities, co-workers, classmates, neighbors, immigrants, and internationals. However, we all share the same vision of becoming a multi-ethnic, multicultural, and multi-generational church connecting people to one another and to God’s heart for the nations here in our community and those around the world.

It is our mission then, to transform each of our individual communities by the power of the cross of Jesus into a singular community that would have a passion to break down racial, cultural, economic, and social barriers to see the gospel go into all corners of the earth including our own backyards.

Our building is in Columbus, OH. We’re just north of downtown Columbus between the Short North Arts district and the Ohio State University Main Campus.
