Building Fund Program

To expand our ability to serve more people.

We are currently looking for land accessible to public transport in the region of Mont Choisy, Pointe aux Canonniers or Grand Bay because the time has come for the main church situated in Mont Choisy to purchase its own land and build an excellent facility. By faith, we intend to birth this dream and look forward to an adventure in faith with God.
We believe that with wisdom, we will speak to relevant people in the Government and the Sugar Land Owner Industries. With the wisdom of God, we intend to negotiate a plot of land to:

-Build a 300-500 seater comfortable sanctuary to Praise, Worship and Fellowship our God and Saviour.
-Build a children's ministry facility
-Build a youth facility
-Mother's and Toddler's facility
-Church offices
-Bookshop
-Parking
