All Nations Christian Fellowship

At ANCF, we believe life groups are the heart of the church. We see the early church in Acts 2:46 as our example. They met together daily in the temple courtyards and shared meals in each other’s homes. Our life groups are diverse communities sharing life together. We meet in our homes to eat together, pray, study the bible and learn how to apply it to our lives. Scroll down to learn more about each group.

Core Groups

Core Groups at ANCF exist to deepen our connection with God, one another, and the vision of ANCF. In our Core Groups, people share with each other what they have learned from the Sunday messages and further study the passages in greater depth. Joining a Core Group is a great way to grow as a disciple of Jesus while getting to know others at ANCF. Together you’ll pray, worship, eat, serve, and have fun.

Partner Groups

The church is bigger than us here at ANCF. We value what God is doing throughout his kingdom and often partner with other ministries that are doing kingdom work that we value. We have close relationships with the following ministries that operate in Columbus on many different campuses.

Freedom In Christ ONLINE Course

Starting: Week of 9/3/2024
Days / Times: Varies
Location: Online
Topic: Discipleship course

The Freedom in Christ Course is a Bible-based discipleship course designed to help every Christian break free from what is holding them back and become who they are made to be in Christ. It is for every Christian—from those who have been Christians for a long time to those who are brand-new followers of Jesus. Unlike many Christian discipleship courses today, the focus of this course is not on how to behave, but on what to believe.
The course is led by a trained FICM staff or volunteer and runs for 12 weeks, including an intro week and a week for participants to work through The Steps to Freedom in Christ, a step-by-step prayer and repentance process. Participants will be expected to watch the videos prior to class, do the weekly homework, and attend each weekly Zoom meeting to discuss what they have learned.

Bridge Groups

Bridge Groups are great for people who are just starting to learn about Jesus, the Bible, and ANCF! Our Bridge Groups’ chief aim is to form “bridges” between various communities and people groups to Jesus and his people here in the community and around the world!
