The vision for our church was to create a sacred space that embodies the concept of an open Bible, welcoming all who seek knowledge, inspiration, and spiritual connection. This vision, conceived by the church’s builder, was meticulously brought to life by Vibgyor Arte, our distinguished architectural consultant. The design ensures that every element of the church serves as a testament to faith, history, and artistry, making spiritual and biblical teachings accessible to all visitors.

Exterior Design: The exterior walls are adorned with depictions of key figures from the Old Testament, including prophets, to visually narrate the foundational stories of our faith.

Symbolic Entrances: The church features twelve doors, each representing one of the disciples, and a central main door symbolizing Jesus Christ, reflecting the spiritual hierarchy and welcoming all into the sacred space.

Interior Artistry: Inside, detailed illustrations of the disciples and their miracles are prominently displayed, serving as an educational and inspirational resource for worshippers to deepen their understanding of religious history.

Celestial Ceiling: The ceiling showcases an intricate depiction of the angelic hierarchy, elevating the spiritual ambiance of the space.

Torment Stations: Twenty stations narrating the Passion of Christ are thoughtfully integrated, offering a meditative journey for the faithful.

The builder’s vision of an open Bible was expertly executed by Vibgyor Arte, who translated these conceptual ideas into a tangible architectural masterpiece, ensuring every detail aligns with the church’s mission to educate and inspire.
