Our Vision
Christ announced His ministry by proclaiming His heart to bring good news to the poor, liberty to the blind, sight to the captives, and the Lord’s favor. This call to serve the poor is made clear by many of His teachings, the way He lived His life among the poor, and the way His disciples and church lived out these commands. Our vision is that H2O church would build real, gospel-centered relationships with orphans, immigrants, widows and those in poverty – visiting, praying and gathering with them on a regular basis. We want to see the people of our church grow their understanding of Christ’s love, and the life of a devoted disciple.

Grateful Gardens
Grateful Gardens vision is to provide a restful space for spiritual renewal to pastors, missionaries, and lay persons in ministry and is borne out of a heart for the spiritual vitality of leaders in the church and missions. To that end, they have created a retreat center in the farmlands outside Columbus, Ohio. The land features woods, trails, gardens, a pavilion with attached quaint cabin, and an orchard. It is a place to rest, commune with God, and then launch back into ministry from a place of trust in Jesus
Stowe Mission of Central Ohio
The programs at Stowe Mission fall into three critical challenges for those in need – hunger, healthcare and education. Stowe Mission meets these needs with our community kitchen, food pantry, dental clinic, vision clinic, pregnancy resource center, after-school program, and weekly Christian services. We also provide a space for many partner organizations to serve in our neighborhood.
Through our ministries, we hope to see our neighbors grow into leaders who help others put their hope in Jesus and thrive in this community.
The Bridge Ministry
The Bridge Ministry Inc., was established as a 501(c)3 organization in the fall of 2022 when a group of passionate Christian individuals saw an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people in our city. They had a vision of helping people bridge the gap between where they are today and where God intends for them to be. So they decided to create a ministry focusing on building relationships with those in need; providing love and encouragement while walking with them as they receive the transformational love of Jesus.
The Columbus Dream Center
The Columbus Dream Center is a volunteer-driven nonprofit serving Central Ohio neighborhoods impacted by poverty. They provide free meals, hygiene supplies, and homeless outreach, as well as after-school tutoring, youth programs, and seasonal events like holiday meals. Grounded in the hope of Jesus, they focus on building relationships and empowering individuals and families toward lasting change.

They supply groceries, gently used clothing, and home food deliveries. The Center of Hope also offers counseling sessions, vision care, and women’s health services, alongside nutrition education and prayer support. Through these essential, health, and next-step services, Victory Ministries helps families move from crisis toward stability and hope.
