A writers' event already has taken place there.
Future plans might include guitarists, comedy acts, a musical and an operatic performance. Fine arts classes also might be offered in the basement classrooms, she added.
The village purchased the building in 1999 and rented it to another church for a while before the idea of the civic center came about. City offices were moved into other areas of the former church and a community banquet room was opened as well.
During the Oct. 28 open house, Wolgamuth said many former church members were on hand to see the renovations.
'There was not one bad comment,' she said. 'Many people said they were married here.'
The large picture window at the front of the church remained, at the request of Village Mayor Bruce Rinker. It is covered with black curtains, but Wolgamuth said the former church members were thrilled to see it still there.
The current stage is small, but future plans include a temporary extension stage and a backstage elevator to move props and equipment down to the classroom area.
'It's a nice facility,' Wolgamuth said. 'Everyone is excited about it.'

The couple had hoped the site could be declared historic and the drive-in saved, but that didn't happen.
Hildebrandt and Lemon are among hundreds of people across Santa Cruz County and beyond who regularly flock to the drive-in to catch the latest box office hits. The comfort and privacy of one's own car, and ticket price of $6 a person, made the parking lot theater a popular destination.
I like being able to curl up wearing my pajamas, said Hildebrandt, a registered nurse at Dominican Hospital. I also like being able to control the volume.
The couple had a standing date at the drive-in as often as the movies changed. They've been to a movie theater only once since getting hooked on the Skyview a couple of years ago
