A Brief History

 

In 1985, the Crossroads Baptist Association purchased a building in downtown Indianapolis to serve as a center for their growing association and to establish a ministry center. Four years later, the Metro Baptist Center was established, providing aid to the underprivileged through its food and clothing pantry. Crossroads and Metro continue to support each other, with more information about Crossroads available at www.reachindy.com. Join us in celebrating this compassionate and community-driven initiative. 

  

The Metro Center has provided ministries to those in needs since 1990. Our food and clothing pantries have been operating continually since that time.  Over the years we have done many different types of ministries and are ready to start something new, as the opportunity arises.

 

An important part of our ministry has been the development of our copywritten computer data collection system called UCAN (Urban Christian Assistance Network). With the increase of families (40,000) since 2000, this software system has given us the ability to keep a handle on the growth.  We believe that this system of intake may benefit other Christian ministries as well.   If your organization would like to learn more about our system, please follow the link:  www.ucanministries.com

 

 

A primary funtion of the Center is to connect individuals to a local church.  One of those churches, is Cornerstone Christian fellowship.  CCF meets at the Baptist Center each Sunday. The church has also overseen the Bible studies presented at the at the Metro Center.
