An Architectural Marvel in Asia
Spanning a massive 22-acre campus, with the church itself occupying 9 acres, Christu Jyothi Prayer House stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. Construction began on June 11, 2016, initially planned as a modest structure, but it evolved into an extraordinary marvel, costing ₹150 crore.
A Grand Structure with Imported Materials
Built across 1.5 lakh square feet, with dimensions of 240 feet in width and height, the church can accommodate 30,000 worshippers at a time. Its dome, a star-shaped aluminum structure, was imported from the USA, adding to its uniqueness.
State-of-the-Art Technology
The church features a Nexo sound system imported from France, ensuring soundproof interiors. Large helicopter-blade-style fans provide efficient airflow, while marble flooring sourced from Vietnam enhances its elegance. The pillars, crafted using advanced Dutch technology, exemplify innovation.
Biblical Narratives in Glass Art
Glass murals around the church depict significant events from the life of Jesus Christ and other Biblical stories. Lamp posts crafted with soil from Jerusalem and sculptures embedded with diamonds and pearls further distinguish the structure.
1600-Year-Old Olive Trees
The premises also house ancient olive trees, 1,600 years old, imported from Israel, adding spiritual and historical significance to the site.
Seven Years of Dedicated Construction
Over seven years, nearly 200 believers contributed to constructing this magnificent church, which has since earned international recognition and accolades.
A Global Spiritual Hub
With construction materials and technologies sourced from the USA, France, Japan, China, the Netherlands, Israel, and Vietnam, Christu Jyothi Church has become a global spiritual center.
A Christmas Attraction
The church is especially captivating during Christmas, featuring a nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger. Statues for the scene, imported from Egypt, enhance its grandeur.
