True Hope Church, a Spokane-based Assemblies of God church, has bought for $2.6 million the Lincoln Center, at 1316 N. Lincoln, where True Hope has consolidated its South Hill and North Side operations, says Ryan Layton, a commercial real estate broker involved in the transaction.

The purchase includes a pair of two-story houses on the southeast corner of Lincoln Street and Sinto Avenue, adjacent to the 33,100-square-foot Lincoln Center, says Layton, a broker with American Real Estate Associates Inc., of Spokane.

Another commercial real estate broker, Jeff McGougan, of Spokane-based NAI Black, also was involved in the transaction.

The church has been holding services at the South Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church campus at 5607 S. Freya and at Mead High School, at 302 W. Hastings.

The original structure at the Lincoln Center site started as a church in early 1900s, and had been expanded by a number of succeeding churches.

Three brothers, Terry, Richard, and Chris Heftel, bought the property in 2006, and remodeled it, consolidating the art deco style throughout the complex. The Heftels opened the Lincoln Center in 2008 as an event center with two large ballrooms, a large conference center, two commercial kitchens, and a number of smaller meeting areas.

In recent years, Red Rock Catering & Events, which is affiliated with Glover Mansion Events LLC, of Spokane, has managed events at the Lincoln Center as the owners took less active roles in its operation, Layton says.

Red Rock has worked out a cohabitation agreement with the church, and will continue scheduling events there at least through year-end, he says.
