Visalia First Church doubles capacity with new sanctuary

VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) -- It's a project nine years in the making, and now, a South Valley church is proudly showing off its new sanctuary.

'Visalia First's' new state of the art structure will hold nearly 3,000 people.

It has a superior sound system, three large screens, and a beautiful lobby area.

Church officials say the project couldn't have been done without the generous support of their congregation.

The old sanctuary will be retrofitted into a building for children.

The first services at the new church will be held on Saturday at 5 p.m. and on Sunday at 9 and 11:30 a.m.
