Chapel Christian Center, which built a $15 million, 3,000-seat domed worship
center in 2000 plans to add five smaller interconnected domes in a $16.5
million project over the next few years.
"We want to start major groundwork next year," said Debra Blaylock, assistant pastor of Faith Chapel Christian Center. "We plan to build it over the next two or three years."
Preliminary plans call for one dome dedicated to a 12-lane bowling alley; another for teen dancing and game rooms; one for a smoke-free, alcohol-free nightclub for adults; another for a children's building with an indoor playground; and one that will be a fitness center with basketball, skating, aerobics and a banquet facility.
"Part of our goal is not just to minister to spiritual needs but to the social needs of people," said Blaylock. "We can tell people not to go to clubs that have smoking and drinking, but people still have social needs. What we're trying to provide is an alternative."
The Rev. Michael D. Moore, pastor of the 4,000 member Faith Chapel Christian Center, started the independent congregation in his home with four people in April 1981.
The Church's building, called the Word Dome, sits on a 37-acre campus along Lexington Avenue near Birmingham, Alabama 269 in Wylam.
