Who We Are

In 1996, Neighborhood Fellowship recognized a gap in services in the eastside neighborhoods and began organizing to make a difference. Since our inception, we have been grounded in the simple premise of Neighbors Helping Neighbors. Our leadership and staff have long-established roots in our community. In fact, many of us grew up here, and together we have committed to continuing to live and work on the near eastside.  

Neighborhood Fellowship is sharply focused on reaching out to those in great need, yet building trust is an enormous barrier in a setting in which people are skeptical and unaccustomed to being treated as equal. Neighborhood Fellowship meets people where they are, gains their trust, and helps them turn their lives around. Relationship building is at the heart of what we do and key to our ministry. We work to get to know one another intricately so that we have opportunities to build long-lasting, life-altering relationships.

A Vision for Tomorrow

At the heart of what Neighborhood Fellowship desires is a strong future for our church and our community. NF is committed to being more than a situational institution that steps in and makes a difference for the moment, and moves out when times are troubled. NF has a long range goal of creating leaders from the community through discipleship who will carry on our mission for generations. Where as many urban churches have fallen away or disappeared to the suburbs, NF is deliberately rooted in the center of the city.

As Neighborhood Fellowship looks out from today, we envision the near eastside of Indianapolis to be a community that has an increased awareness of the Gospel. It is a community where existing churches are responsive and work together across racial and socio-economic lines, and where new churches are planted. It is a community where strong leaders are developed and maturing believers exhibit their faith through service to one another. It is a community where families are healed and lives are changed.
