Local Schools
Outlook supports schools from Mount Vernon School District, Lawrence Township Schools, and Indianapolis Public Schools through a variety of projects. Those projects include a school supply drive each summer and Thanksgiving Grocery Bags distributed to families in need directly by the schools. We also assist with specific projects as requested by the schools on an as-needed basis.
Love INC
Love In the Name of Christ". The mission of Love INC is to mobilize local churches to transform lives and communities in the Name of Christ. Love INC bridges resources by working with local churches, agencies, and other community resources. Love INC, through church volunteers, serves anyone with a manageable need in their service area by serving the churches who serve those in need.
Renewal Neighborhood Ministry
Renewal Neighborhood Ministry is an organization founded and run by Outlook and our partner, Crossroads Bible Church, to manage our ministry efforts in the neighborhoods near Post Road and 42nd Street. This is one of the most impoverished areas in Indianapolis and has been designated by the city as one of six “targeted” neighborhoods because of high rates of poverty, crime, and other factors. Despite those circumstances, the Post and 42nd neighborhood is less than 15 minutes from Outlook and many Outlookers live closer to that neighborhood than they do to Outlook itself.
Renewal Neighborhood Ministry offers a broad and ever-increasing variety of programs aimed at transforming the neighborhood by strengthening families through the love of Christ. These programs include classroom tutoring, after school mentoring, summer programs, youth sports leagues, as well as walking alongside individual families in many different ways.
