Boardman graduate transforms Youngstown church into a creative space

credit:

When Erin Timms and her brother Sean bought the Calvin Center in Youngstown, Ohio, in 2009, they had one goal in mind: to restore the building to its former glory.

"The desire to let let get torn down or destroyed years of years of healing and helping in Youngstown, and not to preserve something that was important to my brother's dream," Timms tells the Youngstown Vindicator.

That dream has now come true.

The Calvin Center is an " integrative community center," Timms says, meaning it will offer classes, concerts, and other events for people of all ages.

It's not the first time the Timms have been involved with the arts, the Vindicator notes.

Erin Timms has been volunteering at events at the Calvin Center for the Arts, Mahoning Valley ComiCon, and classical Indian music performance.

Sean Timms, meanwhile, has owned the three-floor, 28,108-square-foot building since 2009.
