Yes, it is now official! Pastor Joseph Prince, Senior Pastor of New Creation Church made the announcement today at all four services that New Creation Church, through Rock Production, had decided to build its own 10-storey civic centre at One North in Bouna Vista area right next to the Bouna Vista MRT Station.
The construction and outfitting phases will take a total of four years or so to complete and the church is scheduled to start its services there in 2012. There will be a 5,200-seater performance auditorium with its own orchestra pit and many food and retail outlets will make its appearance there. Also there will be a couple of outdoor performance areas that can sit up to 600 paxs.
Right on the top floor will be a large function/ballroom that has a 400 seating capacity and, get this, you can hold your wedding ceremony or your anniversary service there. Is it not exciting?
Why does New Creation Church need such a monster building? Isn't the Rock Auditorium in Suntec Tower 4 good enough? No, to tell you the truth, three Sundays ago on August 19, 2007, a total of 16,000 people attended the church services - 4 English services, one Mandarin and one Hokkien service and at the rate the Lord is blessing us, we will soon outgrow the facilities - the Rock Auditorium seats 1,400 plus the various overflow rooms to give a total seating of only 4,000 per English service.
So I am excited with the new building - more space, our own building, convenience in transportation (next to Bouna Vista MRT Station) and the more important part - no more Suntec City. Lately the traffic situation there is unbelievably bad not counting all those road closures, etc.
Its Rock Productions, not Rock Foundation.
