The Columbus Metropolitan Area Church Council represents a long-term commitment by various churches to develop a unified approach to the common concerns and challenges within Central Ohio. This effort dates back to the early 1930s, when a coalition of churches formed the Franklin County Council of Churches, with a mission to assist churches to work together to promote unity of the whole church through exchanging information, coordinating programs, and addressing common concerns. Another structure was formed to confront new and numerous emerging community issues following World War II. The Columbus Area Council of Churches was organized and became a cutting edge for what in the 1950s developed into a national groundswell toward greater ecumenical cooperation among an increasing number of denominations. During the 1960s, there was a national movement of social activism and recognition of pluralism in society. The need for restructuring became apparent, in order to involve a broad spectrum of denominational leadership. Thus, the Inter-Church Board for Metropolitan Affairs was formed and further refined as the Metropolitan Area Church Board in November 1967. The organization developed its current structure as the Columbus Metropolitan Area Church Council in 1991.
