Spend Local

Columbia’s Spend Yourself mission ministry answers God’s call that we share his love by addressing dire needs of the most desperate from metro Washington to the world. Employing a strategy of “asset based community development,” we seek to give those in need a hand up rather than just a handout by restoring capacities for them and their communities to flourish according to God’s plan in Creation. As Columbia enters a new era of ministry, we are ready to launch Spend Yourself 2.0 to incorporate a more robust local expression of our three Spend Yourself principles: Focused, Transformative, and Just.
