Abstract

The Lord’s Flock Catholic Charismatic Ministry has been in the forefront of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement since its founding on April 4, 1986. Building a center for the Lord has been a dream and a goal since the founding of the Lord’s Flock.

Since its formation in 1986, The Lord’s Flock Community has ministered to countless souls through its Fourfold Missions: Healing; Evangelization; Loyal Helper Prayer Family/Intercessory; and Pastoring.  Since 1986, the number of people who have taken their Life in the Spirit Seminars and other programs of the Community exceeded one million.  The Community has a membership of around 6,000. 

The Lord’s Flock Community started out renting an office space at Quezon Avenue, and soon transferred to a bigger and better location at G&D Building, D. Tuazon St. cor. Quezon Ave., Q.C., where it is presently located.  However, as early as 1994, plans for the construction of a House of Worship for the Lord have already been forming in the minds of the Community’s Council of Elders.  Thus the Heritage Worship andSpiritualFormationCenterbecame the answer to the Community’s dream for a place that will house its ministerial activities.  In 1995, the first conceptual designs for theHeritageBuildingwas created under the hands of Architect Froilan Hong, one of the founders of the Lord’s Flock Community.  I was assigned as its project director.

The ACARE Presentation of the Heritage Worship and Spiritual Formation Center shall cover the History of the Project, Design Concepts, Space Program, Design Progression, Project Phasing, as well as include presentation of floor plans, elevations, sections, samples of structural, electrical, plumbing, sanitary, fire protection and mechanical plans, perspectives, details, material specifications and cost estimates.  What is noteworthy is how the project is being financed mainly through the faith of the community that God will show them the way the material provisions is being met.
