Home Office

The Home Office of EBM is located in Indianapolis, Indiana, on the north side of Indianapolis. In order to maintain our spirit of family, the administration through the years has sought to recognize and identify the offices of the mission as the Home Office, rather than mission headquarters.

The offices are a place for missionaries and their constituency to find a warm and caring environment, vitally interested in them and their ministries. The Home Office is located at 3307 W. 96th St., Indianapolis IN 46268.
