Plant your church in the theatre.

Reverend Kelly Fellows had trouble finding affordable space before he discovered the cinema. Pastor Wes Beavis found that the cinema provides a worry-free, welcoming meeting place. Since moving into a local theatre, Pastor David Stine’s church has grown each quarter.


 

Start your church in the cinema – a low-cost, high-impact, culturally relevant location. Our pricing approach means you can spend your resources wisely to best impact your community. The cost includes auditorium use, access to all restrooms, lobby access for greeting visitors and encouraging fellowship, consultation with Fathom’s team of theatre church consultants, facilities maintenance, janitorial services, and all utilities. Multi-auditorium discounts and long-term contracts are available as well – contact a Fathom theatre church consultant to learn more.
