The church that runs Ebenezers Coffeehouse on Capitol Hill is adding another business to its repertoire, announcing plans to reopen a historic movie theater on Barracks Row. It’s the latest step in the National Community Church’s nearly $10 million investment in Capitol Hill over the last year as it works to expand its presence in the District.

The church, which markets itself to younger city residents and new families, struck a deal to buy the old Meader Theater from the People’s Church this spring for $3 million. The Community Church, which purchased another Southeast property for nearly $7 million last fall, has already begun holding services in the space but said this week it eventually envisions restoring the single-screen theater to run movies and host community events.
