A Year in Review 2025

A Year in
Review 2025

Today, as we close out 2025, we invite you to join us for a special online-only gathering. This is more than just a message; it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate God’s unbelievable faithfulness this year. He has moved in ways only He can, and we want to look back on His goodness together as we step into 2026. This online experience replaces all physical gatherings this weekend and features worship and a special message from Pastor Aaron.

Online-only Gathering

A Note from Pastor Aaron

If 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that God moves in ways far beyond what we could ask or imagine. We began the year praying bold, God-sized prayers, asking Him to do what only He can—and man, did He move. We’ve seen people take courageous steps of faith, say yes to life change, and join the work He’s doing in and through our church.

This page is only a glimpse of the stories and impact we’ve witnessed. As you read, take a moment to celebrate His faithfulness and give Him the glory for all He has done.

Awaken

In the fall of 2023, we began a generosity initiative together called Awaken—a movement rooted in shaping our faith through engagement and generosity. We asked God to awaken us to the work He wanted to do in us so we’d be ready for the work He wanted to do through us. Throughout these two years, we’ve seen Him move powerfully in the lives of our people—through abundant blessing, steady obedience, renewed purpose, and the courage to trust Him in new ways.

TOTAL GIVEN IN 2025

$45,343,335.74

(Giving from January 1 - December 21, 2025)

We’re so grateful for the generosity of every person who gave. It’s a level of faithfulness unlike anything we’ve experienced before, and behind every dollar is a believer, a household, or a family taking a bold step to trust God deeply. You can watch and read through the stories that capture all that God has done through Awaken on our Awaken website.

CLEAR THE WAY. EQUIP FOR BATTLE. DEPLOY FOR IMPACT.

This summer, we unveiled our church's new brand, mission, and vision. To us, it was more than a new look. It represented clarity around who God has called us to be and a commemoration of where our church came from.

Since the launch, countless people have joined us in taking ground for the Kingdom across Indy and beyond. We're in this spiritual battle together, and we're praying expectantly for how God will continue to move in 2026.
You can read more about our new mission and vision on our About page.

First Quarter

We kicked off the beginning of this year with new spiritual rhythms for all ages! In just the first few months of 2025, we saw lasting life change and watched God move in powerful ways.

Prayer & Fasting

In February, we united for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting—choosing to fast from a stronghold for three weeks. Through the Prayer and Fasting guides and a midpoint worship night, many felt God move powerfully during the 21 days. When we asked what God revealed during 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, someone shared, “I feel like I was able to become more reliant on God, especially during times of temptation."

SUPERSTART

More than 2,500 preteens from across the Midwest gathered for SuperStart to experience Jesus and create lasting friendships. Many took significant next steps in their faith—including several who made the decision to follow Jesus for the first time.

ROOTED

Rooted continues to be one of the clearest ways our people find community in life-giving groups. It’s a 10-week experience designed to deepen believers’ connection with God, His church and their purpose. Altogether in 2025, we’re celebrating 201 groups formed and 293 baptisms from Rooted Celebrations! Learn more about Rooted.

Clear The Way

Planning For the Future

Our new mission statement begins with “clear the way”. We’ll do whatever it takes to get people to Jesus, because we believe He alone has the power to change lives. One of the clearest ways we’ve seen this lived out is through the updates made to our Northwest location.

Northwest is our sending location, the home base for our central staff and the place from which we stream all weekend gatherings. We believe God isn’t done growing His Church, and we want to be ready for what’s ahead. These updates will help us continue reaching more people and doing effective ministry for decades to come.

Our prayer is that God would use every part of Northwest—its people, its spaces, and its resources—to keep clearing the way so more people can encounter Jesus, both here in Indy and around the world.

Second Quarter

From Easter baptisms and stories of new beginnings, to men stepping into repentance and renewal, to students encountering Jesus at Summer Camp—God stirred hearts this spring and called people to deeper faith and purpose. Together, we watched Him transform lives and build His Kingdom right here in our city.

Easter

Easter at Traders Point was unforgettable. Across our locations, we celebrated 24,831 total attendance, 27 total services, 577 baptisms and witnessed incredible life change.

Summer Camps

This June, we had the opportunity to bring 1,089 students in grades 3rd through 12th to Summer Camp—a powerful time for students to encounter Jesus. At high school camp, 32 students said “yes” to pursuing vocational ministry after graduation.

MEN’S NIGHT

2,414 men packed out our Northwest campus in May for Men’s Night. It was a powerful evening of spiritual renewal as hundreds responded to the call to repent and surrender. At the end of the evening, we celebrated 92 men who went all in for Jesus through baptism.

EQUIP FOR BATTLE

The second part of our new mission statement is to “equip for battle.” We want to intentionally develop strong, steady and durable disciples, fully equipped for any battle they face. In April, we launched a nine-week Equip for Battle message series, highlighting every piece of the Armor of God and learning how to “battle-proof” our lives as believers. We also launched the Taking Ground Podcast to help shepherd our church through today’s cultural climate. Through teaching and ongoing conversations, we’re helping our people grow strong, steady, and durable disciples—just as our mission calls us to be.

I’ve Got a Word for You

Third Quarter

We’ve watched God move in powerful ways across our church this summer—stirring faith, opening new doors, and expanding our reach so more people can meet Jesus.

Additional Gathering Times

In August, we added additional gathering times at Northwest, Carmel, Fishers, and Plainfield. As God stirred up faith, He drew more and more people into the life of our church. We felt it in our gatherings, parking lots, and Traders Point Kids spaces, and were determined not to hang a “No Vacancy” sign. So, we added additional gatherings to these four locations.

Since launching the gathering times, we’ve created room for new and returning believers to come back to faith, connect to godly community, and be developed and deployed as disciples of Jesus.

Residents and Interns

This year, a combined 26 Leadership Residents and Interns joined our staff to gain hands-on ministry experience and grow as leaders. Since completing their time with us, many are now serving in full-time ministry and others are making a Kingdom difference in the marketplace.

Youth Night

Four times a year, teens from across the city gather at our Northwest location for a night of worship, connection, and unforgettable fun. We saw bold faith rise in the next generation as students stepped up to invest in the church and make a Kingdom impact in their communities. This year, 1837 students have been part of Youth Night—a powerful reminder of how God is moving in the next generation.

Update to Our Fishers Campus

Years ago, we sensed God calling us to launch a campus on the Northeast side of Indy. Since opening the Fishers location, we've seen exponential growth in weekend attendance and in our Traders Point Kids spaces. After adding the 8 AM gathering, Fishers now serves an average of 850 kids and adults each weekend.

Teacher Appreciation

Our school workers have an incredible reach in our community, showing countless parents and students the love of Jesus. To honor the impact they make every day, we gifted 994 school workers with gift cards this year—dollars that administrators, counselors, teachers, resource officers, and coaches are using to support their work in their school districts. One teacher shared that School Worker Appreciation Weekend sparked meaningful conversations with the colleagues she invited, and now she and 13 coworkers are meeting every week for a Bible study.

Deploy for Impact

The third part of our new mission statement is “deploy for impact”: Jesus calls us to go, so we step out as salt and light, making a Kingdom difference in the world around us. This year, we saw God send our people throughout our city—through 4,481 weekend Difference Makers, 530 Serve Saturday Difference Makers, and the 252 families served through our Foster and Adoption Ministry. And God didn’t stop there. Across the country and around the world, 83 Difference Makers went on GO Trips, and more than 1,300 child sponsors carried the hope of Jesus to people who need it most.

What’s Inside Our Church

A Hard Truth

A Turn Toward God

Fourth Quarter

God moved through people’s praises, service, generosity and bold steps of faith at the end of this year.

Women’s Night

In October, we had Women’s Night where 2,817 women gathered from all across our city to be reminded that they’re made for more. We celebrated powerful life change and next steps in faith, including 51 baptisms.

Worship Night

We hosted our first Worship Night across all our locations and saw 4,356 people gather to lift God’s name in worship across our city. We were reminded that worship isn’t about a feeling, but about giving all honor and glory to God through sacrificial praise.

Invest & Invite

At The Movies was the perfect message series to close out 2025. We saw record attendance as thousands invited their “one,” reaching on average 13,719 with the gospel each weekend in December.

CHRISTMAS IMPACT

This year, we continued our partnership with Shepherd Community Center to make an impact on the Near Eastside of Indy through Shepherd’s Christmas Store. We committed to donating 20,000 gifts so children on the east side could experience the hope of Christmas. Through the generosity of our church family, we supplied 45,071 to Shepherd’s Christmas store.

Taking Ground in 2025

As we launched our new brand and mission, we also stepped boldly into a new vision: to take ground for the Kingdom across Indy and beyond. We believe God is moving, miracles are happening, and lives are being changed. This year, our locations welcomed an average of 12,300 each weekend, and we celebrated 2,116 baptisms as people publicly declared their faith in Jesus. We’re humbled and grateful to see God using our church to reach people across Indy and far beyond.

Thank you for joining the mission!

2025 was an incredible year in our church. We watched God do remarkable things through the dedication and engagement of our people. So for this, we say thank you for taking bold steps of faith! We can't wait to see what God does in 2026 through Traders.
