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 Twelfth Grader

52 weeks remaining…

The countdown is on, and there’s so much opportunity ahead in the next 52 weeks. That said, you don’t have to live your best moment every week this year. It will be full of times you wonder, “Where have they been all week?” and you’re consumed with helping them launch into what’s next instead of focusing on the present. That’s okay.

Everyone is wondering, “What’s next?” When you can, remind your emerging young adult that they don’t have to figure out the next ten years – only the next step after high school. Suddenly they’re faced with decisions that have long-term effects: Should I date long-distance? Should I move far away from home or stay home?

Your twelfth grader is getting ready to launch
