The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will construct a new stake centre in Teufaiva, Nuku’alofa, a statement from the church says.
A Latter-day Saint stake centre is headquarters for a stake, which comprises a number of congregations in a geographic location, it says.
“Construction will take approximately 60 weeks and will be completed by local contractors.
“A ground breaking ceremony will be attended by Church, community and government leaders.
The new building is the latest addition in an effort to accommodate expanding Church growth in the Kingdom of Tonga. There are approximately 30,000 Latter-day Saint congregations worldwide, 165 of which are in Tonga”.
