The ACP Team is grateful to God for His faithfulness for the Cathedral Building project, now in Phase 3 which is the Completion phase. The new Sanctuary is fully plastered internally and external works for storm water drainage, paving, boundary fencing and gates are done.

Completion for all Interior works and installations is anticipated by the end of the year 2023 while Exterior Works will be done next year 2024. The scope of Exterior works will mean- Cladding to Slanting Walls and bell tower, pending offices (on lower ground) and installations for functionality.

Brethren, the finishing line is near, do not despair! We encourage you to continue to: Pray, Participate, Provide and (mobilize) Partners for this great work as we honor God.
Thank you, for your continued support.
