Brookside Community Development Corporation

Brookside CDC is a community development corporation that is creating opportunities of renewal and transformation for people residing in the Brookside neighborhood on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis.

The desire of Brookside Community Church and CDC is to see renewal and transformation in the lives of our neighbors as they are impacted by the power of the Gospel, lived out in the context of a community of believers. We seek the restoration of broken relationships that have resulted in the obstacles that our community faces. By recognizing the needs of our neighbors in the areas of reentry, youth development, and housing, the church desires to be a haven where individuals and families can receive support and services that create spiritual, financial, emotional, and physical change.

In 2016, Brookside Community Church launched Brookside Community Development Corporation to be the outreach arm of the church, under which the Reentry, Play, and Housing initiatives would be administered. The goal of Brookside CDC is to expand the outreach opportunities of the church in those three areas. Brookside CDC is governed by Brookside Community Church and lives out the same missional values as the church. Through Brookside CDC, we are better able to be the church that Christ called us to be as we love and serve our neighbors.
