Somebody meets you at the door.
No visitor card to fill out. No standing up in front of everybody. Just a warm hello and a good seat.
We’ve come this far.
By faith, and by each other.
Harvest Gate began with eleven families and a borrowed storefront, a short walk from Indiana Avenue, then the heart of Black Indianapolis. Jazz, barbershops and Black-owned business filled those blocks, and the legacy of Madam C.J. Walker stood over them as proof of what a neighborhood could build.
Like the Black churches before it, Harvest Gate was never only a place of worship. It was a schoolhouse, a meeting hall and a mutual aid society. That is still the work.
