We believe that Jesus Christ is the giver of life, both abundant and eternal. We believe that the Church is not a building, but a community of followers of Christ. We embrace a culture of encouragement which supports Christ-followers to grow in their knowledge and love for the true, living God through relationships. We are about reaching the lost, discipling believers and tangibly expressing the love of God to people in the greater Indy area as well as globally.
