Additional
Gathering Times

Over the past year, we've been celebrating incredible growth—and feeling the stretch—with packed gatherings, crowded parking lots, and overflowing Traders Point Kids spaces, especially at our Northwest, Carmel, Plainfield, and Fishers locations.


We never want to be the church that has to hang a "No Vacancy" sign. So to make room for who God is bringing now—and who He's bringing next—we're adding additional gathering times starting Saturday, August 2.


ADDITIONAL GATHERING TIMES

Northwest | Saturday, 4 PM

Carmel | Saturday, 4 & 5:30 PM (Note: These replace Carmel’s Sunday 5 PM gathering.)

Plainfield & Fishers | Sunday, 8 AM


JOIN THE LAUNCH TEAM

We’re looking for a core group of committed men, women, and families to help launch these new gathering times strong. If you’re ready to say "yes" to making a difference, we'd love for you to be part of the Launch Team!

Parenting Your Eleventh Grader

104 weeks remaining…

Eleventh grade is full of pressure. Academics, volunteer activities, leadership opportunities, SAT / ACT prep, college visits, relationship changes – this is a year to practice trust with your changing teen as they’re preparing to leave the house. Stress management, practicing independence, and helping them establish healthy boundaries are all key to this year full of pressure. Choose your battles wisely and remind them you are a safe place to land.

Your teen is asking this year: “How can I matter?” Lean into their interests, their passions, and the things they notice are broken about the world around them. How can they make a difference? How can they contribute rather than only critique?
