The Variety Arts Center, a Figueroa Street landmark in downtown Los Angeles that has remained idle even as billion-dollar projects bloomed all around it, is moving into the future and closer to heaven, the Downtown News reported Friday.

The Los Angeles branch of the Australian church organization Hillsong will convert the five-story building into a Christian rock-powered mega-church that will occupy the ground-floor theater as well as office space upstairs. Renovations have begun on the structure, with plans for the church group to move in by the end of the year.

The conversion of the property to its new use was manifested by the Robhana Group, a team of investors which purchased the Variety Arts Center in 2012.
