Our History

It all started . . .

. . . in the summer of 1980, five families with Covenant backgrounds began meeting in each other’s homes for Sunday evening Bible study; they felt the Lord calling them to begin public worship services as a Covenant church. The group formed a new church plant, with support from the leadership of the Evangelical Covenant Church. Our original vision included a passion to plant churches around the Indianapolis area. Hope was the first of those planted.

Public worship services began on in 1981. Office space was rented at the Indiana Interchurch Center, while Hope Covenant worshipped at Brebeuf High School. The construction of the church building began in 1988.

We have been blessed to be a continued part of the ministry in the city ever since!
