Iglesia Ni Cristo House of Worship Locale of Newport - Wales, District of United Kingdom This used to be a 100-year old Baptist church that served as a performing arts academy and has been returned to its use as a place of worship after a £1.6 million project. In 1996 the church was closed and was later used as the Burleigh Academy. Restoration work on the £1.6 million project was funded by donations from the Iglesia Ni Cristo church members. Crystal chandeliers hang from the sanctuary’s ceiling, but within the church there are no pictures of Jesus Christ – the Church does not worship idols. More than 1,000 members came to see the church dedicated on August 23, 2012.
