After nine months of construction work, the 180-seater house of worship of the Local Congregation of Minante 1, Isabela East District has been completed and was dedicated to the Lord God during a worship service held on October 9, 2026.

District supervising minister, Brother Ronilo R. Delos Reyes, officiated at the sacred occasion.

During his Bible-based homily, he emphasized that God is the One Who commands His chosen ones to build for Him houses of worship where His Name shall be praised. He exhorted the brethren to love and care for their new house of worship and added that it should all the more inspire them to be zealous in worshiping God.

“I’m really thankful to the Lord God for hearing our devotional prayers. He granted us a beautiful house of worship,” enthused Levi Esguerra, head deacon, in an interview afterwards. “I will continue to put effort in remaining united in all the Church works launched by the Administration.”

 “The brethren are so glad to have such a beautiful place of worship. We promise God to dearly care for this place,” the local congregation’s current resident minister, Brother Raymar Catriz, said. “We will maintain its grandeur for it is here where we worship Him. Our activeness in serving God will never wane.”

Located at Purok 4 of Barangay Minante 1, Cauayan City, the new house of worship was furnished with a Johannus organ, CCTV system, air conditioning units, among others. Parsonage and offices were built adjacent to the house of worship. — With assistance from Jan Ronald Sabado
