Popular Lagos church, House on the Rock, pastored by Paul Adefarasin,
has completed a new church cathedral estimated to have gulped about 3
billion naira. The edifice, Rock Cathedral, also known as Millennium
Temple, sits on 32,000 square meters, and has an inner seating capacity
of 10,000 worshippers and another 10,000 within the church premises. The
temple, which took about 8 years to be completed, is expected to
be
dedicated for use before the end of the year. The new "House on the
Rock" is situated along the Lekki Epe Express way, close to Liberty
Hall. The Millennium Temple, though gigantic, pales in comparism to the
50,000 capacity world-record holding, Faith Tabernacle of Bishop David
Oyedepo. The building took 12 months to be completed. Faith Tabernacle
is presently the largest church building in the world, with a sitting
capacity of 50,400 people and an outside overflow capacity of over
250,000, with four services every Sunday. Construction completed in
Canaanland till date is estimated at no less than $600 million(N90
Billion), with an additional Canaan City Estate currently in
construction, which will be the largest housing estate in Africa and
easily one of the largest in the world with 15,000 housing units and at a
cost of N250 Billion or $1.6 Billion. Another Cathedral of note is the
National Temple of The Apostolic Church Nigeria, which took about 25
years of construction work to be completed. The Temple, touted as the
largest church in the world, has a sitting capacity of 100,000
worshippers at a time.
