Mount Pleasant Christian Church

What Mount Pleasant Christian Church does

Mount Pleasant Christian Church (MPCC) is an Indiana-based non-profit religious organization operating a multi-campus church platform serving the greater Indianapolis metropolitan area. Its three primary campuses — Greenwood (the broadcast hub and original location), Indy West in Clermont, and Indy Southeast in Indianapolis (relaunched in 2025) — host weekend worship services supplemented by a livestream offering with ASL interpretation. The church maintains a broad ministry portfolio organized into sub-brands and programs including the IMPACT Center (food and clothing assistance for 400+ families monthly at three IMPACT sites), the Community Life Center (fitness facility with indoor track, courts, and Trackman Golf Simulators plus youth and adult sports leagues), MPCC Weekday Preschool (150+ students, 12 months through kindergarten), children's, middle school, high school, and college ministries, an 11-month MPCC Residency Program for ministry leadership development, and an MPCC Weekday Preschool. Seven global mission partnerships span India (CICM), Egypt (CAS), Mexico (Impacto Latino), the North Caribbean (Catalytic Hub), Poland and broader Europe (ProEm Ministries, TCM International), and Pioneer Bible Translators.

Revenue generation relies primarily on tithes and offerings processed through the MyVanco online giving platform, supplemented by Community Life Center memberships (annual subscriptions from $50-$250 across family, individual, senior, and student tiers), daily drop-in passes and golf simulator rentals, sports league and camp registration fees processed via Playmetrics, preschool tuition managed via Brightwheel, and community donations supporting IMPACT programs. The go-to-market motion is community-led: referral and invitation through existing members, supported by the website (mpcc.info), livestream broadcasts, social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, email newsletters, and community events. A standing board of Elders provides governance while the executive team — led by Lead Pastor Sean Kelly, Executive Pastor Aaron Gable, and CFO Pam Eckart — oversees centralized operations across all campuses and sub-brands. Underlying technology consists of standard third-party SaaS tools for giving, communications, scheduling, sports registration, and mission trip coordination rather than proprietary systems.
