Orangeville’s iconic Uptown Theatre was built around 1927, near the end of the silent film era. The cinema was remodeled in the late-1940s and operated as a single screen movie theater until the 1970s, when the marquee was added out front and a second screen was added upstairs. In 2002, the Uptown Theatre officially closed its doors.

Our church purchased the old theatre shortly after it had ceased operations. And with special thanks to our congregation, over 26,000 volunteer hours went into cleaning up and restoring the historic destination! Embracing our building’s roots, we lovingly restored the old theatre seating, as it existed in the old Uptown. In 2014, we refurbished the iconic marquee and lighting, which served as a beacon on Broadway for many years.

Today, services are conducted in the main floor auditorium (sanctuary), where faith-based movies are still screened––popcorn and all. The upstairs levels are utilized for the Lighthouse, ministries, and other in-house events.
