Indianapolis is a city of almost 2 million people where 84% are completely unchurched, and in downtown Indianapolis where Living Faith is, the numbers are even worse! It's a beautiful city, filled with "good people" that simply just don't know Jesus.
Downtown Indy is an incredibly hard place, where the vast majority of church plants have failed. Living Faith is making it, but we need your help to really flourish!

About Living Faith
Living Faith has a vision to see churches planted all over the inner-city of Indianapolis, where churches historically have not been able to survive. We believe God has positioned us to be one church in multiple locations, and by working together as a team, see church plants truly thrive in reaching the least of these in our city.Here are some basic stats about who we are, as well as an overview of our current locations.

Life Groups
Irvington
130,000 people live within 3 miles
Irvington is our second location that just recently launched. Currently, we are meeting weekly in life groups, and meeting every Sunday for church services. Irvington is a very spirtually dark place, where the local witch's coven and other anti-church clubs are far outpacing local gospel work. This neighborhood is in grave need of more gospel touch, and we are working to build something new there.
Near West
80,000 people live within 3 miles
The Near West neighborhood has a lower income than 97.3% of the United States, and the vast majority of churches in the area are very small and declining quickly. Many of the people we reach in this area deal with drug issues, sexual addiction, and poverty.
This location also includes our outreach into IUPUI. IUPUI is a university with 36,000 people that is estimated to be about 95% lost. 6000 of these students are international students from over 200 countries. In our experience, 9 out of 10 people we speak with on campus have never heard the complete Gospel of Jesus Christ.
How You Can Help
God has done some amazing things in and through our church, but we truly believe that you can help take us to the next level!
Pray
Commit to Pray for Living Faith
Prayer really does change things. We would love to ask your church to commit to pray for Living Faith. We send out a monthly prayer email that you can sign up for below.
Give
Give Financially to Make Ministry Happen
While our church is blessed in many ways, financially is not one of them. We reach out to mostly low income families from the inner-city and college students, so every dollar given helps us do more to reach our city with the Gospel.
Go
Bring a Team and See the Need First Hand
We have a ton of opportunities for your church to serve in Indianapolis, including: construction projects, door to door evangelism, outreach on IUPUI campus, block parties, and more!
