Our Vision
God’s heart is for all people in all nations to know Him and be in relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. As we learn more about God’s heart, we desire to glorify God with our lives, like Christ, as we grow in obedience to make His salvation known throughout the world. We will do this through meeting the needs of the poor and destitute, acts of love and compassion, and proclaiming the gospel locally and globally.

Campus 2 Campus
N and KT, H2O graduates, are planting a church in East Asia in partnership with Campus 2 Campus, a ministry dedicated to continuously developing and sending teams of missional workers. They strategically target high-need, highly receptive overseas locations characterized by large university populations and multiple key cities. By utilizing a university-centric strategy, they aim to transform entire cities and nations through the strategic impact of reaching students. Ultimately, their efforts feed into a massive, global vision: reaching 100 global cities and 100 unreached people groups with the gospel.
Elic
Laura Grace, an H2O graduate, is currently serving in Asia with Elic, teaching English to university students. Elic is passionate about investing in global communities by equipping and sending individuals and families to teach English in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. They believe that education opens doors, transforms lives, and brings lasting hope for better economic and social outcomes. By providing language skills, they help students unlock career and educational opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach, while setting a framework for relationship-building based on integrity and trust. Through her teaching and her relationships, Laura’s ultimate hope is to shine the love of the Father to everyone she meets.
H2O Church Athens
Bryan and Steph, H2O graduates, serve with H2O Church Athens—a church dedicated to reaching both the campus and the surrounding community. They are passionate about sharing the hope of Jesus in an environment where faith is often stereotypically opposed or simply forgotten. Rather than creating just another campus social club, they are committed to building a vibrant, deep community where students and locals alike can truly live out their faith. Their goal is to move students from being spiritual spectators to active participants in God’s great plan for their lives. By bringing the church directly into the campus environment, they are fostering deeper community, greater participation, and a lifelong commitment to Christ.
H2O Church Cincinnati
Savannah, an H2O graduate, serves on the staff team at H2O Church Cincinnati. H2O is a campus church and student organization right in the heart of the University of Cincinnati. Their mission is to provide an environment where students can grow spiritually, serve the community, and freely explore faith and big questions. College is an incredibly exciting season, but it also comes with its own set of unique challenges. Their passion is to walk alongside students and the Clifton community, empowering them to deeply engage with God during these pivotal years.
H2O Church Kalamazoo
Dave, an H2O graduate, is a staff member with H2O Kalamazoo, where the vision is simple: They dream of showing people Jesus. They believe there is no greater life than to know and love Him forever. Their mission is to invite others into this fullness of life by sharing the Gospel and raising up lifelong disciples who love and obey Jesus. Together, they are trusting God to spark a revival at Western Michigan University as students and faculty encounter the transformative love and grace of Jesus Christ.
International Friendships
When international students leave everything behind to study at The Ohio State University, they often face a challenging wave of culture shock, stress, and isolation. Joy Grace, an H2O graduate, serves with International Friendships, Inc. (IFI) to change that narrative. IFI is a national organization that partners with local churches, universities, and volunteers to provide life-changing hospitality and deep community. By meeting students in their moments of greatest need, she works strategically to make the world feel at home—extending God’s love globally, right from our local campus.
Living Hope Ministries
Living Hope Ministries in Haiti exists to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to the inerrant and infallible word of the Holy Bible. Led by Mary Jane & Andris Jolibois, they participate in evangelistic outreach, corporate worship, pastoral training and care, missionary activities, helping the poor and needy, and any other activity deemed necessary to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The mission has a top-notch primary school (pre-K to 5th Grade) serving over 400 students, a trade school (cooking, welding, business and sewing) serving over 300 students, and a fully constructed and active church.
MAPS Global
As part of the MAPS Global missional family, K & R, H2O graduates, are leading a prayer and worship base in North Africa, driven by a shared vision to pray, preach, and sing in the earth’s most unreached regions until the Great Commission is fulfilled in our generation. Because MAPS Global believes the Church should reflect the culture of heaven on earth, they are building communities across the globe defined by unceasing worship, perpetual prayer, and endless prophetic songs. At the heart of K & R’s ministry is a commitment to host the Presence of God day and night, creating a sacred space where individuals from local cities, surrounding regions, and the entire world can encounter the living God face to face.
Orphan’s Tree
Orphan’s Tree is an alliance of Americans and Russians driven by God’s call to share hope and family through Christ-centered relationships with orphans ages 16 and older in Russia and Kazakhstan. Because most older orphans are never adopted and face staggering risks—often leaving them unprepared for independent life and vulnerable to suicide, prison, or prostitution—the ministry focuses exclusively on this “unadoptable” population to help them break the cycle and build healthy families of their own. Through a dedicated network of Russian and American staff, volunteers, and peer mentors, Orphan’s Tree steps in the moment these youth leave the orphanage, delivering a long-term, hands-on educational model across country houses and ministry centers. By teaching vital life skills, supporting young mothers, and promoting physical safety, maturity, and productivity, the ministry serves as a consistent, positive presence that guides these young adults away from troubling statistics and toward a stable, community-focused future.
SEND International
Noel serves with SEND International, a global community of Jesus followers dedicated to bringing gospel transformation to unreached people. By partnering with local churches, SEND International mobilizes God’s people and sends missionaries from many nations to make disciples and establish reproducing churches among unreached people groups across Asia, Europe, Eurasia, and North America. Ultimately, the organization exists to help you send and serve well in God’s global mission.
Taproot Church
Grant, an H2O graduate, serves on the staff team at Taproot Church, ministering directly to the community at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). At Taproot, their desire is to see college students become mature disciples of Jesus Christ who carry a lifelong commitment to the Great Commission. As a college-focused, community-friendly church, they actively reach out to UTSA students and the surrounding San Antonio area. They live out this mission primarily through their small groups for students and adults, which meet throughout the week at various times and locations. They also gather every Sunday for worship, fellowship, and teaching in a warm, contemporary, and casual atmosphere.
University Church
Caleb and Dawn serve at University Church, located right on the campus of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands. They are an open, campus-focused community striving to follow Jesus together through scripture study, shared meals, authentic gatherings, prayer, and intentional mentoring. Their mission extends outward as they serve our local campus, the surrounding community, and the wider world. As a church family, they focus on three dimensions of spiritual maturity: growing up in our relationship with God, growing out by actively living our faith, and growing across as they walk alongside one another. They extend an open invitation to everyone— whether they are deep in your faith or simply exploring.
