Indy METRO Church is an urban community of faith committed to loving people, loving Jesus and being immersed in service to our community.
We are a church of people that desire to see you take your next step towards loving God and loving people in the heart of the city. Below are a few of the leaders that are committed to serving you and helping you engage into our faith community in a sacrificial way.
Indy Metro Church Pastoral Staff
Pastor, Elder, and Overseer are all synonymous terms in the Bible. Pastors are those men who are called and biblically tested to lead. We are committed to the New Testament dynamic of the plurality of elder leadership. The Elder team oversees the administrative functions and overall vision of Indy Metro Church.
With Jesus Christ as head of the church, Indy Metro will be governed by a Board of Elders. Their primary responsibility is to seek God’s direction for our church and handle the following duties with competence and integrity.
Aaron joined the initial team of Indy Metro as an intern and then came on Pastoral staff. He was a part of IMC since its beginning is our Lead Pastor. He and his wife Carrie have four children and reside in the near Eastside community of Irvington.
