Casa de Dios, Megachurch in Fraijanes, Guatemala
Casa de Dios is a neopentecostal megachurch in Fraijanes whose temple, finished on 27 April 2013, seats 11,000 people and covers 270,000 square metres, making it the second largest temple in Guatemala. The sanctuary was built under the "Ciudad de Dios" project begun in January 2008, and its inauguration was broadcast over the internet across Latin America.
Casa de Dios was founded on 11 September 1994 by pastors Cash Luna and Sonia Luna. It moved from a family living room to a hotel ballroom, then to the Chamber of Industry auditorium, and in 1995 to "La Bodeguita" on Boulevard Los Próceres, which had 550 seats. Construction of the current temple began in January 2008 and was completed on 27 April 2013.
Services are broadcast on Enlace TBN as "Casa de Dios" and "Noches de Gloria", and the church hosts the leadership conference "Ensancha" and the youth conference "Hechos 29". Its teaching stresses God's promises, faith, hope, integrity, honor and family values.
The temple stands in Fraijanes, outside Guatemala City's centre. The sources record no visitor parking details for the current site; the earlier La Bodeguita building had only three parking spaces. Services are broadcast on Enlace TBN, so check local listings before travelling.
The 2013 inauguration was broadcast over the internet to millions of viewers across Latin America and to more than a million people in Guatemala by television, making it the most watched church inauguration event in the country. The temple seats 11,000 people and covers 270,000 square metres.
