New Worship Facility
The church will move to a new 5,000 seat auditorium as its future worship facility in the new building named The Star Performing Arts Centre (also called The Star) in Buona Vista when The Star is completed. The Star will be opened in the second half 2012. The Star is planned by Rock Productions, the business arm of the church, together with CapitaLand.
The Star is envisioned as a "futuristic complex with restaurants, shops and a 5,000-seat theatre", and costs nearly SGD1 billion. As at October 2012, the church has raised SGD$383.2 million of the new building's cost of SGD$500 million.
As the anchor of The Star Performing Arts Centre, both the church and its business arm, Rock Productions, are to manage the civic and cultural zone of The Star. The church owns the 5,000 seat theatre, multi-purpose hall, outdoor amphitheatre, special function rooms and other facilities to serve the church's congregation. The Star's retail zone is not under the management of the church and Rock Productions as CapitaMalls Asia will manage this zone.
The church will rent space owned by its subsidiary, Rock Productions, in the complex for Sunday services.

Famous quotes containing the words worship and/or facility:
“We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Probability but no truth, facility but no freedom—it is owing to these two fruits that the tree of knowledge cannot be confused with the tree of life.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
