Our vision is simple: care for the people God has placed here— and the ones He is sending. To steward this moment, we are focused on three priorities and inviting everyone to take one step.
Three phases. One shared vision.
The master plan will move forward in three phases. Our current focus is Phase 1: The Next Generation, followed by Care & Formation and, in time, expanded space for our growing community.
The Next Generation
A place to belong on their best day—and their hardest day.
Spaces designed to gather, mentor, and invest in young people, meeting them where they are and helping them discover who God created them to be.
Care & Formation
Places set apart for discipleship, counseling, learning, and spiritual formation, where deeper conversations and meaningful care can happen.
The Community
We have run out of room to gather in our growing community. Our master plan includes the expansion of our current building, contingent on the first two properties being developed.

Who We’re Becoming Together was shared with Heartland.
Pastor Darryn introduced the vision during Heartland’s 25th anniversary and invited the church to pray about its part in what comes next.
“The relationships that I’ve made at Heartland have completely changed me.”
Ryan Miller · High School Student
Ryan first came to a Heartland Student Night after months of invitations from his brother. What began with one night became friendships, 21 Days of Prayer, baptism and a new direction for his life.
A growing community. A growing opportunity to care.
Within a 5–7 minute radius of Heartland, more than 65,000 people will soon call this area home over the next five to ten years.
For the past 25 years, we have had the privilege of partnering with the City of Fishers to care for our community one person at a time. We believe this next season gives us an opportunity to serve even more people.
A church for everyday of the week.
Care needs do not only happen within the window of Sunday services. Sunday matters—but what about Tuesday? What about the spaces in between?
We believe God is inviting us to imagine our property as a place of connection all week long—a place where bridges are built with people who may not yet feel comfortable stepping into a church setting, but are open to meaningful relationships, care and community.
God is moving in the next generation.
We are seeing spiritual hunger, openness and need in young people at a level we have not seen before.
With nearly one-third of our community under the age of 16, we want to create places where kids and students can belong, be known, grow in faith and build relationships that help shape who they are becoming.
