Our Organization
Xenos is organized by divisions. Our six divisions each have their own coordinator on staff, and usually several staff department heads. The coordinators meet with the lead elders to form the management team. They are in turn responsible, through the lead elders, to the board of elders.
Adult Ministries
Xenos is a national leader in forming and operating home groups. We provide scores of home groups under several different models. This division oversees both home groups and our Central Teachings (CT). Sphere leaders are responsible for each sphere of home groups organized by the CT they attend, providing better support and a sense of community at CTs.
Equipping Ministries
At Xenos, we are convinced that equipping lay people for ministry is the key to healthy growth. Xenos offers extensive classes, teachings, conferences and a Study Center to help teach Christians about their faith and their ministry.
Student Ministries
Energetic and effective, the Xenos student ministries group reaches out to children (Oasis) Junior High (Blow Out and JAM), High School (North Central) and College students (Campus Bible Study). We also oversee the Xenos Christian Schools. For college students living outside Columbus, Ohio, we offer Real Life, an alternative to the traditional college experience.
Missions
Missions is a high priority in Xenos. We are committed to sharing our resources cross-culturally around the world, as well as with the poor in our own city. Urban Concern is our nationally known effort to share God's love with the disadvantaged.
Support Services
Every day at Xenos we pray we will never lose our excitement for sharing Christ's love with people who don't know him. This division oversees adult outreach ministry teams; the Servant Team, the Communications Department and (who operates this Web site); and our External Relations team, who organizes our conferences and provides equipping materials for Christians outside Xenos. We also offer various pastoral counseling services to assist people.
Operations & Administration
A lot of planning and networking go on behind-the-scenes in a church like Xenos. This includes our present building projects, human resources and fund-raising. Take advantage of manuals for human relations or our innovative fiscal support team.
