This church able to accommodate a congregation of 1000 stands on a raised plaza in a new development. It combines an almost-square main space seven metres tall, a freestanding tower and a parsonage linked to the main church space by the sacristy. Dominating the church is the roof plane, the more so since the walls consist largely of glass. Fifteen steel trusses support the roof in a construction set outside the building envelope. For all its modernist syntax, the church's interior arrangement and mode of worship are traditional.
Demolished in 2008.
