CONTEXT | CLINTONVILLE, OH

Clintonville is a small suburban area of about 40,000 people just a few miles north of downtown Columbus, and directly north of the Ohio State University. It is full of charm, trend, and vibrancy. The area contains a young population, highly unchurched and progressive. With clusters of post-graduate students, small families, and older folks this context makes for a unique context to plant. There is lots to do in the area and contains diverse demographics. This community currently contains a lot of Contrast Church members, and is ripe to place a more localized church community for those who are seeking a church home.
