Mission Indy Inc. — Organization Profile
Mission Indy Inc. is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The organization equips and trains Christians to express the love of Jesus through service opportunities in the Indianapolis area. Its public mission is “Equip Christians to Serve Others,” and its vision is for local churches to be inspired to love their neighbors by serving in Indianapolis.
The organization’s core focus is training youth, adults, churches, interns, and ministry groups to serve others through local mission experiences that connect Christian faith with practical love for neighbors. Mission Indy grew out of service opportunities connected with Chapel Rock Christian Church in the late 1990s, when Ron and Marsha Greiner and other founding members sensed a call to help more churches experience mission service in the city.
Mission Indy serves Indianapolis, Indiana, especially the greater Indianapolis area, through partnerships with churches, ministries, agencies, and community organizations. Its model brings groups from rural, urban, and suburban churches into service opportunities where they can learn, serve, and return home better prepared to serve their own neighbors intentionally. The organization’s emphasis is not starting new ministries, but partnering with existing churches and ministries already serving in the city.
The ministry operates through summer programs, custom service opportunities, internships, prayer experiences, resources, and local partnerships. Mission Indy provides housing, food, showers, tools, materials, and site leadership so youth and adult groups can serve in the context of the city. Summer programming offers organized mission experiences for church groups, while custom opportunities can be designed for fall break, spring break, weekends, or other group schedules.
A distinctive part of Mission Indy’s work is combining hands-on service with training, encouragement, challenge, and motivation so participants carry mission practices back to their own communities. The organization also offers summer internship opportunities where interns serve and lead participating groups while gaining hands-on ministry experience. Its Intentional Formation Initiative is described as a fellowship program combining communal living, paid work, Kingdom learning, and local church engagement.
People can engage with Mission Indy by registering for summer programming, requesting custom opportunities, applying for internships, joining prayer efforts, donating, reading the newsletter, or contacting the staff directly. Churches, youth groups, adult groups, and individuals can participate through service experiences that help them practice the love of Jesus in Indianapolis and grow in their ability to serve where they live.
