Q&A With Pastor Ed Newell, Amplify Church
Amplify Church
is located in the Indiana Theater Building at 637 Philadelphia Street. They have been working on various renovations, along with building owner Tom Harley, over the past few years. Recently, they unveiled a new marquee that harkens back to a classic 1950s movie marquee. We chatted with Amplify’s Pastor Ed Newell about the project.
How did this project come about?
Whenever we first had the opportunity to enter into a long-term lease with building owner Tom Harley in Jan 2016, the renovation of the marquee was something we were already discussing at that point. The renovation was a dream of his, but without a tenant to help maintain the space and bring in income, it was difficult to pursue alone. As we went into the agreement, we knew we wanted to treat the theater with care and one day if we are no longer in the space, we wanted to leave the space better than we found it. Overall, we love Indiana. We love IUP. Renovating the marquee, renovating the theater, using it weekly, and making it available for others to use is something we are very proud of.
