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!

Communion

At Traders Point, communion is an act of worship. It’s a time to pause, reflect on our relationship with God, repent (or choose to turn away from sin), and remember what Jesus did for us on the cross.

While we devote time periodically to take communion during some of our gatherings, communion elements are always available as people leave gatherings each week. Simply grab a communion cup on the way out of the auditorium, and choose a time during the week to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus. You might do this on your own, with your family, or with your group.

When Jesus provided instructions for communion, He said, "As often as you take it…" We see it being part of the early church’s regular practice, appearing to be part of both large and small gatherings. We want to follow the same example, intentionally reflecting on who Jesus is and what He’s done through communion.

Not Ready to Take Communion?

No problem—and no pressure.

At Traders Point, you’re welcome whether you’re not sure what you believe about God, or you are a committed follower of Christ. If you haven’t yet started following Jesus, then communion should wait.

During the Last Supper, Jesus instructed his followers to drink wine and eat bread, symbolic of His blood and body. Today, communion is a time for us to reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice and work in our lives.

We take communion because Jesus instructed us to as a way of remembering and celebrating what He did for us.

All who have made the personal decision to follow Christ.

Before eating and drinking, put yourself in the right mindset. Reflect on the sacrifice of Christ, examine your relationship with God, and recognize where you might need forgiveness.

Yes! You don’t need special juice or bread to take or serve communion. Any kind of drink, bread, or crackers can be used. As long as you use this time to intentionally connect with God, communion can be taken anywhere.

Communion is available at the church, but you can also take communion with your own elements.

Yes! We encourage group communion time. Try starting or ending your group together with communion.

No, if you believe in and follow Jesus, you can take communion without being baptized. But we encourage all who believe in Christ to follow Jesus’ example and consider baptism as an outward expression of your faith. Learn more about baptism at TPCC.

Yes, your kids can take communion if they’ve given their life to Christ and you feel they’re ready. If you’re unsure whether communion is appropriate for your child, consider these questions:

  • Has my child confessed faith in Jesus?
  • Do they know what sin is and how to repent?
  • Do their actions show evidence they want to follow Jesus?
  • Do they understand why we take communion?

We recommend reading Luke 22 and 1 Corinthians 11:26 together to understand the symbolic meaning and instructions for communion.

Keep in mind, communion doesn’t just happen at church. You can take it together during service or around the dinner table at home. Whatever you choose, we encourage you to establish a weekly rhythm of communion with your family.
