About Us

Meet Thomas and Kari Shepherd, the dynamic duo shaking up Indianapolis with their passion for marriage and ministry. Settled just outside the city since 2020, they've been weaving their own love story for 18 years while serving as co-laborers with others navigating the rollercoaster ride of life.

Their brood of five—Tommy, Lois, London, Norah, and Rose—keeps their household buzzing with energy and laughter. Thomas serves as the senior pastor at Crosspointe Baptist Church, a hub of spiritual growth and community outreach. Meanwhile, Kari lends her expertise as a brand manager for an online company, while pouring her heart into their shared ministry endeavors.

Together, they're not just living life—they're painting a vivid portrait of love, and faith in action, inspiring those around them to embrace the adventure and the joy of serving others.
