Lockerbie Central UMC a historic community doing church in a new way. We are re- imagining what is means to be church. Our home is in a beautiful historic building built by the church in the late 1800s that we want lots of people to enjoy. To make this possible, we created Earth House Collective in partnership with the community as a way to extend radical hospitality in downtown Indianapolis. Over the past three years Earth House has grown into one of the best places in Indy to experience art, music, culture, healthy food, a great cup of fair trade coffee, and a community in action. All this is happening in a place of worship and spiritual growth.
