Please correct the name of the church. It is not “Son of Light Christian Center”, it is, Son Light Christian Center.

Additionally, this statement in the original article that the organ “is still playing for services today,” is incorrect. There hasn’t been an organ in this building for over 30 years.

Then history of the theatre is located at: View link

Son Light christian Center purchased the building in 1976 and remains there after 30 years. Their first service in the building was March 28, 1976 (not 1978).

If anyone has additional information or pictures, please contact me at and I will update our history website. I am always looking for early newspaper articles and early pictures.
