About Eagle Church

Eagle Church is about engaging people to live everyday with Jesus. We just celebrated our 30th Anniversary and are committed to NextGen Ministry! Eagle is strategically located on Indianapolis' far northwest side and in one of the fastest growing communities in Indiana with thousands of young families within a short drive to our facility. But we are not tied to that facility. We have a strong desire to reach those who don't yet know Jesus which means going to them. We are seeking to build our outreach into the community through Small Groups. Regionally we reach about 6-7 different city communities and about that many high school campuses. We are looking for the next team member to help us get after what God is calling us to be about.
