Why Does A Church Buy A Bar?
Redemption is a biblical term that means to buy back from the marketplace of sin. In purchasing the Home Plate Bar at 2700 Shadeland Avenue, New Hope for Neighborhood Renewal was making an investment in the community, a commitment to positive change. A corner where people were dealing drugs, now invites youth and families into a safe place for some of the best gourmet coffee, gelato (Italian Ice Cream), and baked goods in the city, as well as Perry's Ice Cream. The Café ‘n Creamery is a place to do homework with a cup of hot chocolate or where families enjoy a gelato and play a board game. It is where neighbors and other northsiders are coming for conversation and a great cappuccino. You can support the mission of the Café ‘n Creamery by holding your next meeting or gathering at this neighborhood “Sweet Spot.” When you support the Café ‘n Creamery, you’re supporting New Hope for Neighborhood Renewal and new hope in the community!
