Hi, my name is Natalia Chase and I’m a long-time worship leader from Columbus, OH. My dad is black and my mom is white; they were married in the 1970’s and I’ve seen how racial differences can polarize or unify us—my parents chose the latter and their faith is Jesus has been the glue that has “unified” them some 43 years later. Because of this, I’ve developed a passion for diversity, celebrating our differences, and really learning how to be “different- together”.

With the recent painful events surrounding the killings of black men and women, God has impressed on me, and so many of you, the need for true and lasting healing in our country. I’ve developed a deep conviction that God is asking the Church to lead the way. And, I am convinced that there is nothing more powerful than the love of Jesus to heal our racial divides.

And so, this event was birthed to take part in God’s purposes in the Church rising up, unifying as followers of Christ, celebrating our diversity as different functioning members God’s family, while using our ONE voice to bring about change.

Romans 15:5 -7 says, “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."

With that in mind, we are excited to embark on this journey and want to invite you to be a part of bringing this city-wide event from concept to creation.  Please prayerfully consider investing an amount that works for you and we'll keep you posted with event updates along the way. We look forward to partnering with you to help bring Christ-centered racial healing to Columbus!
