First announced in late 2015 as the “Faith Theatre”, the 100,000 seat stadium-like project has now been officially retitled as “The Ark”, unveiled at the church earlier this Month.
Sited on about a 1000 hectares of land (the site of the old Faith Academy compound), within the vast premises of the current church building, the Ark will specifically accommodate 106,000 seats and will include a 24 Floor Mission Tower (International Headquarters Facility) made up of 2 twin towers of 12 floors each. Upon completion, the existing 50,000 seater Faith Tabernacle will serve as an overflow facility. The construction of the facility was official flagged off at a special ground breaking ceremony this past Thursday.
The updated scheme feature a more animated facade with what appear to be LED frame, operable walls, a translucent roof, entrance ramps and more.
