The fellowship experience through Circle City Fellows gives Fellows a structured environment to learn about how their work is meaningful to the Mission of God and to the flourishing of the City of Indianapolis (and beyond). During nine months, Fellows create deep connections with their peers, focus on building spiritual and professional practices, and create tangible ways in which they can impact their place of work.

HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP EXPERIENCE WITH CCF?

I heard about it from Louie Winternheimer

I DECIDED TO DO THE CCF FELLOWSHIP BECAUSE...

I wanted grow in my faith and help connect my faith to my career and my community.

CCF EXISTS TO HELP YOUNG PROFESSIONALS SEE HOW THEIR WORK MATTERS TO GOD AND HOW IT IS IMPORTANT TO HIS MISSION FOR THE WORLD. IS THIS SOMETHING YOUR FAMILY OR CHURCH TAUGHT YOU GROWING UP?

I would say yes and no. My family always told me what I do matters to God and is important to his mission. At church growing up it was more focused on missions of God and not looking at how God works in your career or profession.

IN YOUR CURRENT WORK, (WHETHER THAT BE WORKING FULL TIME/PART TIME, GOING TO SCHOOL, OR RAISING CHILDREN) HOW DO YOU SEE THE MISSION OF GOD AT WORK?

I have started to see how the mission of God is at work. It can both be easy to see at times and hard to see at other times.

THE FELLOWSHIP CONSISTS OF READING ARTICLES, PARTICIPATING IN COHORT DISCUSSIONS, MONTHLY SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES, ATTENDING SATURDAY FORUMS THAT FOCUS ON THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS, AND A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT WILL GROW YOU IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIFE. WHICH OF THESE ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO AND WHY?

I am looking forward to participating in cohort discussions and learning from other young professional in the Indianapolis community.

BY THE END OF THE FELLOWSHIP, I HOPE TO HAVE…

A great sense of how there is already God's mission around me in my profession and in my community. I want to be more active in understanding and learning about my community and my faith.
