Indiana Interchurch Center

What Indiana Interchurch Center does

Indiana Interchurch Center is a non-profit, multi-tenant facility operator founded on July 5, 1967, in Indianapolis, Indiana. It provides shared office space, meeting rooms, and event venues to more than 25 nonprofit, faith-based, and advocacy organizations operating under a co-ownership structure involving three main religious judicatories (United Church of Christ Indiana-Kentucky Conference, Christian Church in Indiana/Disciples of Christ, and Synod of Lincoln Trails/Presbyterian Church USA), with Christian Theological Seminary holding the underlying land lease and three board seats. Its physical assets include customizable office suites, the 120+ capacity Krannert Hall (featuring grand stained glass windows), a 120-capacity Dining Room, four conference rooms seating 6–25 people, an outdoor Labyrinth styled after the Chartres Cathedral, and a Peace Garden, all within a centrally located campus offering 24-hour access, fiber internet, free parking, on-site USPS, HD projectors, and Natural Habitat Certification.

The business model is straightforward facility rental: recurring monthly office-suite leases to nonprofit tenants, augmented by event-space rentals for board meetings, trainings, and lectures. The center monetizes its spaces through a Yarooms-powered online reservation system (for conference rooms and the two large halls) and a web-based work-order portal for tenant maintenance requests. The website also functions as a public directory of tenant organizations, providing organic marketing value to the community. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective tenants and event renters must contact the center directly. The customer base spans healthcare, mental health, food security, environmental advocacy, animal welfare, legal advocacy, education, international aid, and faith-based missions — all mission-aligned with the center's stated values of social justice and interfaith dialogue.

Operationally the center is a small entity with 1–10 employees, governed by a board that includes judicatory and CTS representation. Go-to-market relies on interfaith referrals, community networks, and direct facility tours rather than paid marketing. There is no venture backing, no public listing, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A activity. The center's strategic posture is one of stewardship — maintaining a historic, mission-aligned nonprofit campus for the Indianapolis faith and social-justice community rather than pursuing growth at scale.

Direct peers

• The Interchurch Center: The Interchurch Center at 475 Riverside Drive in New York City is the flagship multi-tenant interfaith office building in the U.S., housing ecumenical agencies, religious denominations, and non-profit organizations. It offers office space and event/meeting venues under a shared interfaith governance model that is directly comparable to Indiana Interchurch Center's structure and operations.
• Church Center for the United Nations: Located at 777 UN Plaza in New York, the Church Center for the UN is an interfaith office and conference facility housing religious and non-profit organizations serving the UN community.

Others

• National Council of Churches: The National Council of Churches is a leading ecumenical organization in the U.S. connecting 38 Christian denominations with related shared office and programmatic needs. While primarily an advocacy and coordinating body rather than a venue operator, it represents the broader interfaith institutional network that supports demand for interfaith office facilities like IIC.

Regional players

• Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation: Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation operates a large multi-purpose facility in central Indianapolis offering office space, classrooms, and event venues for community and non-profit use. As a regional peer in the same Indianapolis market with comparable mission-aligned rental offerings, it provides localized competition and a relevant benchmark for facility-based non-profit services.

Emerging players

• Impact Hub Network: Impact Hub is a global network of mission-driven coworking and event spaces for social enterprises, non-profits, and impact-focused organizations. It competes for a similar non-profit tenant base seeking shared, values-aligned workspaces and meeting venues, though with a more modern and decentralized delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Chautauqua Institution: Chautauqua Institution is a lakeside community in western New York offering educational, cultural, and religious programming alongside extensive conference, lodging, and event facilities. While much larger and more diversified than IIC, it shares the faith-rooted origins and operates multi-purpose venues for meetings, retreats, and conferences on a recurring basis.
