Christian Student Fellowship Indianapolis

What Christian Student Fellowship Indianapolis does

Christian Student Fellowship Indianapolis (CSF) is a non-denominational campus ministry founded in fall 2013 as a registered student organization at IU Indianapolis and Purdue University in Indianapolis. Originally known as Impact Christian Fellowship, the organization rebranded to its current name in 2019 when it became an independent nonprofit. Its core programs are weekly Life Groups (small-group Bible study), monthly Nights of Worship (large-group gatherings featuring a meal, live music, and a teaching message held five times per semester), and CSF Housing — a 4,300-square-foot owned property at 1139 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. that houses up to seven male students and serves as office, rehearsal, and fellowship space.

Supporting programs include the CSF Sent Podcast (faith-sharing), recorded Messages/Sermons, CSF Daily (a New Testament-in-one-year Bible reading plan via email), Student Art gallery, student Testimonies, Baptism resources, a Worship Team, and Athletics. Distribution occurs through weekly Life Groups, monthly Nights of Worship, Church Center app, podcasts on Apple and Spotify, YouTube, email newsletter, and campus club fairs. CSF is led by three staff (Andrew Hodges, Samantha Hodges, Matt Baker) and governed by a five-member Board of Directors, and is affiliated with the Association of College Ministries network.

The business model is donation-based nonprofit funding, with no fees charged to students. CSF does not sell products or services; revenue is sourced from individuals, alumni, parents, and church partners. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The technology footprint is limited to standard digital channels (website, podcast hosting, Church Center app, YouTube, email) with no proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, APIs, patents, or proprietary data assets.
