On June 6, 1880, the First Methodist Protestant Church of Indianapolis, Indiana was organized by Rev. J. H. Luse, then president of the Indiana Conference, and Dr. S. H. Flood. At the time of its founding, 48 names were on the church roll. That same year, the church moved to the corner of Hoyt Avenue and Dillon Street (now Shelby Street).
