About Me
A Church For Christ
We are now beginning our worldwide promotion of
A CHURCH FOR CHRIST!!!
A Church for Christ is
an astounding Monument
to our Savior JESUS CHRIST
for the beginning
of a new century.
Created by the artist
as a monumental symbol.
A new place for serving
the almighty God,
and for all believers
in our lord JESUS CHRIST
The Church should be
a meeting place for all believers
from all over the world
to congregate and
could be a big attraction
to the area, in which it is built.
The form of the Church
is in the shape of a cross
and symbolizes the
life and death of JESUS CHRIST.
The highest point of the Church
is 60 meters high or 196 feet.
The approximate Length
of the Church is 380 meters
or 1246 feet and
the width is approximately
204 meters or 669 feet.
The Church should come together
as an entire art piece
created and designed by some
of the greatest living artist
of our world in honor
of God and JESUS CHRIST.
The construction of the Church,
Striving upwards toward the sky,
is symbolic of our desire
to reach the heavens of God.
The outer construction of the church
has several symbols on it.
The nail, representing the crucifixion of CHRIST,
the ropes, representing the suffering of CHRIST
and the loin cloth, representing the poverty
of JESUS at the time of his death.
Ten steps lead to the entrance
of the Church and symbolize
the Ten Commandments of God.
The marble fore entry
to the Church will have
The Ten Commandments
engraved in different
languages of the world.
The Church entrance area
is built like the rock of a mountain,
symbolic of the grave
of JESUS CHRIST.
Before reaching the entrance door,
one must pass through the big rock formations
on the left and the right,
each side symbolizing Heaven and Hell,
sculpted in the style of the
great artist Auguste Rodin.
The formations represent
every human beings right
to choose between good and evil,
right or wrong.
The Entrance to the Church itself
is a gigantic door in Bronze.
The art, sculpted in metal,
depicts the Angels celebrating
the resurrection of CHRIST.
Over the metal door
is a glass art window
symbolizing the heavens of God.
The two large glass window
constructions in yellow gold
symbolize the resurrection
of CHRIST.
A sculpted image of CHRIST
with an angel, should be mounted to the outside
of the glass window, and illuminated by lights at night.
The dark blue glass window
symbolizes the Crucifixion.
Together they become
a gigantic glass monument
in honor of CHRIST.
The sculpted image of
the crucifixion of CHRIST,
should be mounted
to the outside of the glass window
and illuminated by lights at night.
The church is shaped like a giant cross.
In the center of the cross, is a glass skylight
shaped in the form of another cross
with The Eye of God in its center.
The pupil of the eye
is a giant crystal construction
in sparkling colors,
shining the light of the heavens
downward toward a bridge
that crosses a lake,
within the church.
The people crossing the bridge
to the alter, pass under the light of heaven,
symbolic of our desire for eternal life.
Within the church building,
beneath the skylight, The Eye of God,
there is a lake crossing left and right
with a bridge above it,
where the patrons pass over
to reach the alter.
On the left side of the lake
is a smaller alter,
with an installation
of a fisher boat and nets,
which symbolize the baptisms
perform by CHRIST, PETER,
JOHN THE BAPTIST,and others.
On the right side of the bridge
is a separate pathway
that leads to a little island,
which harbors a gigantic
sculpture/installation,
that symbolizes the terrors,
ravages and inhumanities
of war, throughout history
and for the future.
The sculpture is built
together with tanks,
cannons, machine guns
and guns from wars
from 1939 to present day.
The center of the installation
holds guns with bayonets
placed in the shape of a cross,
with the thorn crown of CHRIST above,
as a warning for us
that there are no winners in war
and the senseless killing of innocent people
and that one day, we must
all be accountable for our actions.
On the right outside of the lake
is a place for another small alter.
The main alter of the church,
holds two stone tablets,
symbolic of the Ten Commandments,
on the podium.
Behind the main alter
is a gigantic sculpture
of the crucified CHRIST,
which should be renowned
as the largest sculpture of its kind
in the world.
It is pointed
toward the window,
representing the resurrection
of CHRIST to inspire hope.
On the left and the right
of the CHRIST sculpture
are places for the church organ
and choir.
The outside courtyard of the church
includes an 80 meter nail sculpture,
reaching toward the sky,
symbolic of the suffering
we do unto mankind in JESUS name.
Beneath the church building,
will be offices for church staff
and employees.
That will lead to the alter area.
Garage levels can be built
beneath church building.
This church will require
a great team of architects, artists,
interior designers and builders,
who are willing to be a part
of making a monument
unto CHRIST,
the likes of which, this world
has never seen.
The model and concept of this church
was created in 1984,
by the artist HELMUT PREISS,
as a testament to his love and faith
in GOD and JESUS CHRIST.
The model used in this presentation,
was designed and constructed in 1984
with one of the best model builders
in Vienna, Austria.
Although it is our dream
to see this project come to fruition,
we are not accepting donations for
A CHURCH FOR CHRIST.
However, if you are interested in donating,
you may leave your email address
and we will contact you at a later time,
when a builder is found.
Please forward this website
to all of your friends
and believers in JESUS CHRIST.
