A group of Chinese Christians started a Bible study fellowship in Indianapolis in 1968. This congregation was transformed into the Chinese Community Church of Indianapolis in November 1973. Over the past few years, the group grew in desperate need of larger facilities and moved into the present location at 3405 E. 116th Street in Carmel in June 1999.

The church organization consists of administration, finance, education, worship, fellowship, mission and caring ministry. The congregation elects deacons to oversee various responsibilities within the church as well as to guide the brothers & sisters in serving the Lord together.
