New Palestine Bible Church

What New Palestine Bible Church does

New Palestine Bible Church (NPBC) is an independent, evangelical Bible church located in New Palestine, Indiana (United States), operating continuously since Easter 2001. The organization provides Sunday worship services at 9:15am and 11:00am at its main campus at 5954 W 300 S, with nursery and kids' classes offered at both services and a live stream of the 9:15am service. It serves a hyperlocal congregation and broader community through a structured ministry portfolio that includes age-segregated programming — AWANA for ages 4 through 4th grade, FUSE for 5th-6th grade, BRIDGE for 7th-8th grade, and R.O.C.K. for 9th-12th grade — alongside men's, women's, and senior (Prime Timers / S.E.N.I.O.R.S.) ministries, small groups, and missions outreach. Annual community events such as Vacation Bible School (e.g., Rainforest Falls VBS 2026) and weekly men's Bible study extend engagement beyond regular attendees.

The church has no proprietary technology, no technology products, and no commercial software offerings; its digital surface is limited to a SnapPages-hosted website, a Church Center mobile app used for calendar, directory, giving, and forms, Facebook for community engagement, an email newsletter, and live-streamed services. Revenue is generated almost entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, accepted via online giving, in-person collection, and mail-in contributions, with a minor incremental stream from a $25 annual AWANA membership fee per child (scholarships available). The organization is governed by pastoral leadership (Senior Pastor Brett Crump, serving since 2002; Youth Pastor Rex Smith since 2009; Associate Pastor/Children's Ministry Bill Henderson) and three elders (Daron Day, Maurice Stonecypher, Evan Eckert), with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no publicly disclosed financials.
