Northwest Presbyterian Church

What Northwest Presbyterian Church does

Northwest Presbyterian Church (NPC) is a non-profit religious organization founded in 1992 in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb northwest of Columbus, and a member church of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). The church first worshipped in its permanent facility at 6400 Post Road in July 1998 after meeting in local school buildings, and operates with a 15-person staff led by Senior Pastor Dave Schutter (since 2007) and Associate Pastors Chris Mabee and Patrick Tebbano (joined 2024). Its mission centers on gospel-centered worship, discipleship, and church planting, with NPC having planted several churches in the Columbus area.

NPC delivers a comprehensive ministry ecosystem spanning the full life cycle: Sunday worship services (in-person and YouTube livestream), Sunday Morning Discipleship classes, Green Pastures Children's Ministry, Stillwater Student Ministry for grades 6-12, Adult Ministry (Men's, Women's, Young Adults), neighborhood-based Community Groups, Stephen Ministry care, Transformed4Life biblical counseling, and Campus Outreach staffing at Ohio State, Bowling Green State, and University of Cincinnati. The church also operates Northwest Presbyterian Christian Academy (NPCA), a state-licensed private Christian preschool and kindergarten serving children ages two through kindergarten, including a summer camp program.

The organization's revenue model relies primarily on voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation, supplemented by tuition fees from NPCA Preschool and Summer Camp. Programs are delivered free to the community. Digital infrastructure includes Church Center (registrations, giving, calendar), Planning Center Online, YouTube, Vimeo, and Spotify. A three-year capital campaign called Generate (launched 2024) targets a $3M facility expansion with approximately $2.4M already committed toward a $1M community-giving goal. Global mission partnerships extend to Berlin (Team Berlin) and Haiti (Living Hope Ministries), alongside local Dublin-area outreach (Dublin Food Pantry, New Path Pregnancy Resource Center, Young Life Capernaum, foster care ministry).
