What if churches all around Indianapolis combined forces to spread hope?
Churches across central Indiana have been working tirelessly to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people during the coronavirus pandemic. From sharing stories of hope and inspiration, to weekly opportunities for prayer, to area pastors coming together to purchase masks for frontline workers, you’ve inspired our team by the way you’re serving others.
Now, it’s our turn to serve you.
Our team is launching a new campaign called Hope for Indy. Hope for Indy is a digital awareness campaign to celebrate, gather and elevate the message of hope from churches.
Our goal is to be a megaphone for the good you are doing. We want to flood social media and the news with your stories of hope.
We believe there is a momentous opportunity for churches around our city to speak as one. To show the people of central Indiana that our top priority is people. That we are here. We are one. We care. And we want to bring peace, hope and resources to the city.
Need some hope and encouragement? Follow Hope for Indy:
The Hope for Indy Network wholeheartedly believes every single person, regardless of the color of his or her skin, is created in the image of God and worthy of love and belonging. Yet the injustice of racism, violence and even indifference to racial injustice is still very real in our country.
It’s more important than ever for a unified voice among churches to stand against racism and violence and to work with community leaders, public officials and other churches on lasting change. Churches can and will be a healing force of good going forward, and we will continue to support them as they share a message of hope and serve their communities in the weeks and months ahead.
We encourage you to use these social graphics in conjunction with action. We don't just want to tell people we are here, we want to show them what we're doing to combat racism and to bring justice for all people.
