The refurbishment work has breathed new life into this distinctive place of worship, with the building now looking magnificent as it catches the light in the town centre.
The careful restoration has preserved the character of this George Street landmark while giving it a fresh, vibrant appearance that locals are noticing and admiring.

The Iglesia Ni Cristo congregation can be proud of the high standard of work that's gone into revitalising their building, which now stands as a real credit to George Street and the wider community.
