Being purpose-driven means we are always asking why, always making sure that the activities and energies of this church are actually connected to the things that matter most, the worship of God, the growth of His people, and the tangible expression of His love in Indianapolis and in the world.
We exist on purpose, and we live that way every day.


Ebenezer Baptist Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ by sharing the Gospel and helping people grow in faith, obedience, and relationship with God.
We are committed to reaching people of every ethnicity and generation, welcoming them into a Christ-centered community where they can worship, belong, grow, and be transformed.
We fulfill the mission Jesus gave His followers by going, making disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to follow all that He commanded.

Ebenezer Baptist Church envisions a multiethnic and multigenerational church where people from every background and generation come together to worship God and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
We are committed to edifying the saints by building a Christ-centered community where every person is equipped, valued, and empowered to use their gifts for the Kingdom.
We enter to worship, edify the saints, and exit to serve, carrying the love of Christ beyond our walls to make disciples and impact our communities and the nations.
The mission of Ebenezer Baptist Church is the same mission Jesus gave his followers: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
We strive to glorify God through worship that is rooted in scripture, and that draws us closer to Him.
We are called to serve our community and those in need, through both physical and spiritual acts of love and kindness.
We seek to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to all people, and to share the gospel through both deed and word.
We prioritize the practice of discipling others in the faith, helping them to grow in their understanding of the Bible and their relationship with God.
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
