What Traders Point Christian Church does

Traders Point Christian Church (TPCC) is an independent, nonprofit religious organization headquartered in Whitestown, Indiana, operating as a multisite church network across the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Founded in 1834 as Ebenezer Christian Church with ten charter members, it is one of the oldest congregations in the region and currently sustains 12,000+ average weekly attendees across seven campuses: Northwest (the flagship 156,000 sq ft, 2,600-seat facility on 92 acres), Carmel, Downtown, Midtown (Broad Ripple area), Plainfield, Fishers, and Westfield (launching September 2026). It is governed by an Elder Team chaired by David Morgan and led by Lead Pastor Aaron Brockett, who has overseen growth from approximately 1,500 attendees in a single location to the current footprint since joining in 2007.

The church's product and service portfolio spans physical programs and digital channels. Physical offerings include weekend worship gatherings, age-graded children's and youth programs (Summer Nights, Midweek, Youth Nights, summer camps for grades 4-12), small-group communities including the 10-week Rooted experience, The Park free indoor playground, foster and adoption care ministries, counseling, and a three-tiered volunteer model (Serve Here/Near/Far). Digital infrastructure centers on the Traders Point mobile app (iOS/Android) integrating message notes, event discovery, serving sign-ups, and giving; an on-demand message library distributed via web, app, Apple TV, and YouTube; the Taking Ground podcast with Lead Pastor Aaron Brockett on Apple Podcasts and Spotify; and Traders Point TV livestreaming.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants, collected via physical wall boxes, mail, stock transfers, and the PushPay-powered online and app giving platform that supports one-time and recurring gifts. Pricing is effectively zero for all worship services and most programs; summer camps carry registration fees with scholarship assistance. The church is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, operates with no parent company or external investors, and is independently funded by its donor base. Customer segments include adults seeking faith community, families with children, 6th-12th grade youth, and foster/adoptive families — each served through purpose-built programs.
