New Nonprofit Keyholder Membership

As The Gathering House continues to grow at 1372 Cherry St., nestled in Old Second Ward in downtown Noblesville, so does the community’s investment in its mission. Over the past six months, TGH has noticed an increased interest from local nonprofits in TGH who want to partner, host events, and utilize the space in meaningful ways. To meet this need, The Gathering House is introducing a Nonprofit Keyholder Membership, making it easier for organizations to collaborate, connect, and receive support from the community.

“When we launched our initial Keyholder Membership, we knew we had neighbors in the community who would capture and support this vision,” says Patrick Propst, Minister alongside Faith Community and The Gathering House. “What we didn’t anticipate was the number of nonprofits also wanting to support and be part of this space. It’s amazing to see that kind of engagement, and we’re thrilled to make this adjustment so more people can feel at home here.”

This new membership will provide nonprofits with flexible access to The Gathering House, allowing them to host meetings, events, and programs while also strengthening community relationships. It’s another step in ensuring that The Gathering House remains a place where connection and collaboration thrive.

In 2023, Faith Community made the intentional decision to sell its traditional church building, embracing an organic church model centered on gathering with the community in shared spaces to practice intentional spiritual disciplines and build authentic community. Rather than being defined by a location, Faith Community prioritizes relationships, discipleship, and everyday rhythms of faith lived out together. As part of this vision, they purchased a house in downtown Noblesville – now known as TGH – as a space dedicated to community programming, collaboration, and shared experiences. This home has become a hub where people from all walks of life can connect, create, and cultivate meaningful relationships.
