Good News of Jesus Christ and fosters Renewal through the Holy Spirit
and the use of spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church. Our
mission is to renew the grace of Pentecost throughout each parish in
Central Indiana through evangelization and service. We envision
personal, continuous conversion to the Lordship of Jesus Christ with the
fullness of the charisms of the Holy Spirit as normative within personal
lives and parish communities. CCRCI provides opportunities for Masses,
teaching sessions, prayer meetings, Life in the Spirit seminars,
conferences, and healing services.
