Gracelife Chapel – Movie Theater to Church Renovation

September 14, 2025

In a powerful transformation of space and purpose, JHOOKER Construction Services partnered with Gracelife Chapel to convert a former movie theater into a fully functioning, modern worship facility. This 11,900 square foot adaptive reuse project turned a commercial cinema into a welcoming spiritual home for a growing congregation.


Completed in April, the remodeled church campus now features:


  • A large, open worship center
  • Flexible gathering areas for ministry and community use
  • Renovated restrooms, offices, and classrooms


This project highlights our team’s ability to repurpose existing structures for entirely new uses—delivering cost-effective, time-efficient solutions that serve both the mission and the people.


From design to final walkthrough, the space was shaped with intention, excellence, and clear communication every step of the way.
