A group of Chinese Christians led by the Holy Spirit started a Bible study fellowship in Indianapolis in 1968. The group met at the North Minister Presbyterian Church for worship services. This congregation was transformed into the Chinese Community Church of Indianapolis on November 1973. The group physically moved to the Meridian Street Methodist Church sanctuary for services in the fall of 1974. Subsequently, the church settled at the location on Broadway Avenue on August 1982. Over the past few years, the group grew in desperate need of larger facilities. By God’s grace, the church purchased and moved into the present location at 3405 E. 116th street of Carmel in June 1999.
The church organization consists of administration, finance, education, worship, fellowship, mission and caring ministry. The congregation elects deacons to oversee various responsibilities within the church as well as to guide the brothers & sisters in serving the Lord together.
1968年間,一群基督徒在神的引導下,於印城開始查經班的工作。最先,他們使用North Minister Presbyterian教堂聚會並且於1973年11月定名為「印城華人教會」;在1974年秋改借Meridian Street Methodist教堂聚會,最後在1982年買下座落在56街和Broadway交接口的一所教堂,從此才正式擁有屬於自己的聚會場所。近年來由於人數的增長和使用空間的不足,於1999年6月神恩待我們,使教會得以搬遷並買下現址。
A powerful 7.9 magnitude quake has struck China, killing 15,000 people (still increase now), and injuring tens of thousands. To help Sichuan earthquake disaster victims (including local church families and brothers and sisters who suffered tremendously), our church will collect special offerings starting from this Sunday continuously for three weeks. The need is great! Thank you in advance for this additional donation and generous support for the quake survivors.
