Welcome to Ablaze
the Youth & Young Adults Ministry of CICC
Names carry identity, purpose, and prophetic weight. The name “Ablaze” was chosen intentionally, rooted in our foundational scripture, Romans 12:11 AMP "Never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord” We believe God is raising a generation that is not lukewarm, but fervent in spirit, faithful in calling, and fired up for His glory.
The name Ablaze captures our calling in this generation — to burn with holy fire, to be set apart, and to serve as agents of the end-time revival. Just as John the Baptist declared in Luke 3:16 that Jesus would baptize us with the Holy Spirit and fire, we believe that young people today are called to carry that same fire, to proclaim the Gospel with boldness, and to walk in purity and power. This generation is not forgotten. Joel 2:28-32 reminds us that
in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh — sons and daughters will prophesy, and young men will see visions. We are stepping into that prophetic fulfillment, and Ablaze is the platform for it.
As Psalm 71:17 declares, “O God, you have taught me from my youth, and I still declare your wondrous deeds,” and Ecclesiastes 12:1 exhorts us to “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,” we invite every young person to live sacrificially and purposefully (Romans 12:1-2) — to be transformed, not conformed, and to shine as a light in this dark world.
Whether you’re in high school, college, or young adulthood, you belong here. Ablaze is more than a ministry — it’s a movement of young people ignited by God, alive in Christ, and advancing His kingdom.
Our Vision
To raise a generation of young believers who are Fervent in Spirit, Faithful in Walk, and Fired Up to Serve.
We believe that when young people fall in love with Jesus, they become unstoppable forces for transformation in their communities and the world. Our ministry exists to:
Impact in the Church & Community
We believe that ministry happens beyond the four walls of the church. Ablaze reaches into the community through:
Volunteering with our church’s community feeding program.
Mentorship and leadership training.
Live Worship Recording Platform
The Live Worship Recording Platform was created as a space where young men and women can gather to worship God wholeheartedly — freely expressing their praise with passion and purpose.
Inspired by Psalm 149:1 — "Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!" — this platform nurtures a community of fearless worshippers and undignified people of praise. It exists to:
- Foster a spirit-filled environment of authentic worship and joy.
- Share the sounds and songs God is birthing through this generation.
- Build connections across ministries in Columbus and beyond.
Whether it’s dancing, shouting, or singing, our worship is bold and joyful — and it’s how we share the good news of Jesus with the world. Through this platform, we’re raising a generation that worships without limits. We’re not missing out — we’re going all in!
