What some current members are saying
Bethany Craig
HCCO Community Member
“HCCO is a very welcoming community where you can share ideas, and learn from one another. You get the sense that you can completely be yourself, and meet new and interesting people who are different from you, yet share the same values as you. I’m still new to the community, but I find myself repeatedly drawn to this group of great people.”
Derrick strobl
Former HCCO Board Member
“To discover the Humanist Community of Central Ohio was a surprise for me. I had considered myself a Humanist but didn’t know that a group like HCCO was here. I’ve been with the group for over 20 years and watched it grow beyond expectations. I appreciate knowing there are others around who share a Humanist approach to life and having many opportunities to grow and express our values.”
Robert & Rita Ridgard
HCCO Community Members
“Rita and I moved to the Columbus area in March of 2016. We had been active in Central Florida Freethought and North Central Florida Humanist organizations. We were looking for this kind of active Humanism when we moved here and were lucky to find it in HCCO. We were happy to relocate here and find like minded people in a welcoming community, and are looking forward to upcoming events.”
Nathan B. Weller
HCCO Board Member
“Participating in HCCO and serving on the Board has aligned my convictions, community, and purpose in an incredibly fulfilling way. What can I say, it’s made my life better!”
Jeff Dubin
Former HCCO Board Member
“I am happy and proud to be an HCCO member, because I believe in giving time and money to a community that helps me live out my values.”
Gleb Tsipursky

“HCCO provides a wonderful community of people oriented toward reason and compassion, and that’s why I joined. I continue to be a monthly donor to make sure other people have the opportunity to gain the same benefits that I did.”
