Partnering with believers to bring about lasting change
God is changing lives in inner-city Indianapolis. Through local inner-city churches, people are encountering the hope of Christ, building meaningful relationships, and experiencing lasting change. Cru® Inner City’s Circle of Hope equips our partner churches to walk alongside their neighbors and serve their communities with compassion and purpose.
We serve inner-city churches in Indianapolis by equipping them through Cru Inner City programs, supporting their work of evangelism and discipleship in their communities.
We provide Compassionate Products™ and training to support the church in establishing relationships with people in their neighborhood.
We mobilize volunteers, resourced churches, and financial investment to increase our inner-city church partners’ capacity for life-changing evangelism and whole-person discipleship that transforms communities.

Want to help reach more people in Indianapolis with the hope of Christ? There are several ways to help.
