Summit Church to dedicate building

Summit Church will dedicate its newly renovated church building at 10225 E. Kellogg today.

Summit Church had temporarily met earlier this year at a theater at the Wild West World theme park. After the park went bankrupt, the church moved to a nearby Park City motel.

It bought the East Kellogg building, once used by Pizza Hut and later by Raytheon Aircraft, last year, renovated it and moved in earlier last month.

The dedication is scheduled for 2 p.m.
