Serving Greater Columbus & Central Ohio
While membership is centered around Worthington, we also draw people from throughout Columbus. Beyond our regional geography, the livestream of our Sunday worship is regularly viewed by many throughout the country.
Our members include lifelong Presbyterians (some of whom have been part of this congregation for their entire lives), those who have “migrated” from different faith traditions, and others for whom WPC is their first formal religious affiliation.
Everything we do intends to spread God’s love to others beyond our congregation. We are actively engaged in ministries in hunger, education, and justice – all things that might show the world a “glimpse of the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Who's In Charge Here?
The Presbyterian pattern of church government, which vests governing authority primarily in elected members known as eldersThe body of elders elected to govern a particular congregation is called a sessionThe primary body governing a Presbyterian congregation is the Session, a “council of Elders.” These are people elected by the congregation to serve in terms of three years. Pastors are also members of the session. Regional governance beyond the congregation is found in Presbytery, where decisions are made by representatives of each congregation in equal numbers of Elders and Ministers.
