A Structure Built on Trust and Transparency

Our model of accountability in Indianapolis church leadership goes beyond standard non-profit compliance. We are overseen by a committee of elders from our partner churches Indianapolis, who ensure that every decision—from approving a church planter to managing the budget—adheres strictly to our Biblically driven vision for healthy churches. Your trust is secured by the involvement of established, male elder-led ministries across Central Indiana.
