Our Church History

 

We’ve been here on the west side of Indianapolis since 1923. 

At that time, FGCC was on the outskirts of Indy.  As the city grew, so did FGCC.  Fleming Garden's attendance grew, and its influence on Indy's west side reached its zenith in the 1970’s. 

As Indianapolis faced economic and urban growing pains from the 1980s through the early 2000s, so did the Fleming Garden family.  FGCC's attendance and influence dropped accordingly. 

Over the past 10 years, FGCC has experienced a revival and revitalization.  This has been due to an intentional effort to be a vital part of the Fleming Garden neighborhood.

We, the Fleming Garden family, believe that God has planted us here to be His lighthouse in the community.  As we share the Gospel, we intentionally reach out to Indy's west side in as many ways as possible. We offer a “no questions asked” food pantry service after our Sunday Morning Worship service. We host a neighborhood crime watch meeting every other month. We help local school families with gifts, clothes, and food at Christmas. We support our local Christian Student Fellowship for college students downtown. We host a free movie night each month for the church and community.

Fleming Garden Christian Church has also opened its doors to a Spanish-speaking congregation.  As a result, two church families are ministering in this community every day of the week.
