Every Indy college athlete should have the opportunity to be fully known, grow spiritually, and make an impact with their life.
Being a college athlete in Indy can feel overwhelming. You’re juggling busy schedules, high expectations, and new surroundings. You’re trying to figure out who you are and where you belong. Between your athletics and academics, it’s easy to feel like there’s no time or space to connect on a deeper level.
At the same time, there are quiet questions that linger in the background: Will I be accepted? Do I have what it takes? Does any of this really matter? You might feel pressure to perform, fear not measuring up, or wonder if your life will make a lasting difference.
You’re not alone. We understand the unique challenges of being a college athlete. We remember the days of looking for a place to belong on campus and desiring genuine connection. We know what it’s like to search for meaning while wondering if God has a purpose for your life.
We help college athletes apply the Bible to the unique challenges of their lives. Since 1998, we’ve helped hundreds of Indy college athletes find belonging, grow in their faith, and make an impact with their lives.
With Indy AIA, you don’t have to earn belonging. You’ll find connection rooted in being known by God and others. You’ll have the opportunity to explore what it means to grow spiritually alongside other athletes who are asking similar questions. And as you grow, you’ll learn how your life can make a lasting impact, starting right where you are.
You don’t have to carry the pressure alone. There’s a path to a meaningful college experience that extends beyond the stats and trophies, and it starts with a simple conversation. Reach out and connect today.
