Seeking a Call

American Baptist Churches of Greater Indianapolis is one of 33 regions (middle judicatories) of American Baptist Churches in the USA. With a history as the Indianapolis Baptist Association going back to 1826, our 41 churches in Marion and bordering counties in Central Indiana are seeking to empower churches to transform lives and communities.

Those interested in serving in pastoral ministry in ABCGI can receive more information below and download the necessary documents. We are looking for those with a passion for the church, an awareness of our changing culture, the desire to continue learning, and an ability to live within the tensions of our region’s theological diversity.
