The National Bank of Indianapolis (NBI) and New Direction Church are pleased to announce the launch of the East 38th Street Renaissance, a joint initiative aimed at revitalizing the surrounding community and fostering long-term economic empowerment, financial literacy and social development. This initiative is designed to address critical needs in the area including including job creation, improved infrastructure, home ownership and enhanced community resources.

“The East 38th Street Renaissance represents our commitment to not just our congregation but to our entire neighborhood,” said Pastor Dr. Kenneth E. Sullivan, Jr., New Direction Church. “This partnership with The National Bank of Indianapolis underscores our shared belief in creating lasting change through economic opportunity and community development.”

The National Bank of Indianapolis will work with New Direction Church to offer financial education workshops. Community members will also be able to reserve time at the church to speak with a financial consultant. Additionally, the Bank will offer down payment assistance to first time home buyers, further highlighting its commitment to equitable banking and holistic community growth.

“We are committed to serving this community in every way we can,” said Doug Talley, Executive Vice President of The National Bank of Indianapolis. “This partnership is giving us an opportunity to help drive economic growth and improve the quality of life for more Indianapolis residents.
