To provide the Ecclesiastical District of Cotabato North in the Philippines with a better facility to house the various offices of the district, the Church Administration approved the construction of a new office building. The said edifice was inaugurated on September 6, 2026.

Located within the house of worship compound of the Kidapawan Local Congregation, the two-storey edifice houses 17 office rooms for various departments, including the secretariat, Christian Family Organizations (CFO), Light of Salvation (LOS), and Technical Support Videostreaming (TSV).  

The inauguration began with a prayer led by Brother Alex D. Buenaventura, district Church officers overseer. Brother Joel P. Colegio Sr., assistant district supervising minister, then delivered the opening remarks.

Brother Carlito C. Anama Jr., district secretary, read the district’s history, after which the Ambassador of Faith, Love, and Hope, a choral group from the Kidapawan Congregation, performed a musical presentation.

Following this, Brother Generico N. Gamboa, district supervising minister, delivered an inspirational message highlighting the importance of the new district office as the administrative center of the Cotabato North District. He noted that it provides a dedicated venue for ministers and Church officers to coordinate activities, attend to the needs of local congregations, and carry out their responsibilities in advancing the Church’s work throughout the district.

Then, Brother Gamboa and Brother Colegio, together with their respective wives, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony and the unveiling of the inauguration plaque. Brother Josue T. Ruthas II, district edification overseer, read the plaque. The group then led a tour of the new edifice.

On behalf of the brethren, Brother Gamboa expressed, “We praise our Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ for this new district office building. Through the Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, we continue to be cared for. This structure also reflects the continuous growth of the Church’s work in this province.” — With reports from Norvin Enrique and District multimedia
