Vision Poem
Adopted by the Session 2003

A church with staying power.
Seventeen decades in the heart of Columbus –
Staying –
through war, disease,
crisis within and beyond

Staying –
reformed yet welcoming,
traditional yet alert,
resourceful yet dependent
upon God’s staying power.

Staying –
busy yet purposeful,
community-minded,
proud yet responsible.

Staying –
to serve the new Columbus –
diverse, mobile, international.

Staying –
to hear God’s call afresh
for our 18th decade and beyond.

First Presbyterian – staying power
In Christ
Out of the past
Into the future
Through the Spirit.
