Iglesia ni Cristo Central Temple, Religious temple in Quezon City, Philippines
Iglesia ni Cristo Central Temple sits along Commonwealth Avenue with 22 spires displaying Neo-Gothic design created by Carlos A. Santos-Viola. The structure houses a large main hall, two side chapels, and a ground-floor sanctuary that can hold thousands of worshippers.
The structure was completed in 1984 and serves as the flagship temple for Iglesia ni Cristo, an independent Christian church founded in the Philippines. Its construction marked a major milestone for the denomination on the islands.
The temple serves as the spiritual headquarters for the organization's leader and main worship space for the Central District community. You can feel its importance to worshippers when you observe the congregation gathered during services.
The temple accommodates thousands of worshippers across several separate spaces with good acoustics for services. Services are conducted in both Tagalog and English, making them accessible to different visitors.
A custom-made pipe organ containing 3,162 individual pipes was installed in 2014 by A.E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Company. This instrument remains one of the most distinctive features you will notice during services.
