about us

Bartlett Chapel has always embodied what it means to be the church: not a building, but a people. We are a community of growing disciples, committed to Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, united together in the love of God, and called to make the love of Christ real to others.

Since 1860, Bartlett Chapel has grown from a tiny, one-room church by the side of the road to a friendly and caring Christian congregation of approximately 300. Our current campus, situated on twelve acres of land, includes the main building, a picnic area, a softball field, a children's playground, and a parsonage. None of this could have been possible without God's help, faith, and patience, partnered with years of love, working together, and praying together. We praise God for his blessings,
and would love to welcome you in person!

romans 12:15-16

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another.”

We learn together.

We serve together.

We laugh, and cry, together.

We pray together.

We make God’s love real, together.

Seeking something? So are we!

Do you wrestle with life? So do we!

Got questions about faith? Us, too!

ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!
YOU'RE INVITED TO THE JOURNEY!

There is a place for everyone at Bartlett Chapel. We are an active community of followers, knowing that we are imperfect and messy. Our guiding principles are grace, compassion, and personal witness. We practice these principles, especially through social engagement and service here in our local community on the west side of Indianapolis.

We are part of the long heritage of the Wesleyan tradition. We hold to the traditional doctrines of Christian faith, with Jesus at the center.

our logo

The circles represent our one God in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The circles intersect at the center of the cross, the symbol of our deliverance from slavery to sin and fear of death. The outer circumference of the rings represents the globe. As a whole, the logo communicates God sending the church into all the world.

The Global Methodist Church’s logo uses the classic trinitarian symbol of three intersecting circles offset by a cross.
