Wisc. Movie Theater to Become Church – Permanently
02/12/2009
The former home of the Big Picture movie theater in downtown Appleton, Wisc., is the new branch home of Freedom, Wisc.-based St. Peter Lutheran Church.
Pastor Jim Skorzewski is starting up The Core, a new ministry of the church aimed at 19-to-35 year olds. The movie theater they have purchased has an IMAX screen, which Skorzewski can’t wait to use. In that room, the church will construct a 30-foot by 90-foot performance platform.
The former concession stands will be turned into coffee lounges and cafes with free WiFi.
The official opening is April 19, but the services have started already, meeting at 5:30 p.m. Sunday evenings.
