About Church and Community Development for All People

In 1999, the United Methodist Free Store opened on the urban South side of Columbus, Ohio. Its atmosphere of unconditional love and hospitality fostered the dream of a church “for all people” that would be intentionally cross-class, multi-racial and diverse, with a new model of service and worship that was “with” the poor, not just “for” the poor. The Church for All People was founded with the mission of being the church at the heart of both community renewal and personal transformation. Community Development for All People was founded the same year. From housing to health to music, its programs provide a model and inspiration for urban ministry and community development across the world. The organization is faith-based, but all services and programs are provided to everyone regardless of faith, race, sexual orientation, gender-identification, income, or any other potentially limiting factor.
