Church Moving Into Old PF Theater

After nearly two years of hammering away at a remodel, Summit Northwest Ministries is finally on the verge of moving into the former Post Falls Theater. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is tentatively planning on holding its first service at the site on Saturday, Oct. 26, pending any last-minute delays or finishing up work early, said Gary Miller, leader of the church's senior programs. "It's exciting for us," Miller said. "We want to be a very visible church and we're community-minded." Post Falls Theater was built in 1996 and opened in 1997. The church has added 7,000 square feet of space, making it a 25,000-square-foot worship center on 3.8 acres. "We've spent $1.5 million remodeling it," Miller said. "We've added an elevator and lighting and put in a different sound system (among other improvements)"/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (Coeur d'Alene Press photo: Shawn Gust)

Question: Would you go to church in an old theater?
