RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Living Stones Church has officially announced it will be purchasing the historic Riverside Theater in downtown Reno.

The announcement was made last Sunday.

Back in July, the church announced it was exploring the purchase of the property.

The cost of the purchase isaround $5 million.

The church says it is excited about the opportunity to be a part of Reno’s revitalization and that the building fits with its mission of being “In the City, for the City.”

“One of our convictions through this process is we don’t want to purchase a building that sits empty for 6 days a week. We believe God has given us this building. Given it to us but it’s not for us,” said Living Stones pastor Kyle Bates.

The theater is located a few blocks away from the church’s midtown location.
