It has seen the need to plant a new “branch” or a new premises in the northern part of the city, to serve the local as well as the international community in the area. The design concept is taken from its name, “The Vine,” which symbolizes life and growth. The design uses more neutral contemporary architectural language rather than religious, with the intention of facilitating community building and place making. The premises include a large open pantry, shared spaces, a youth space, a kids’ room, counselling rooms, and a large auditorium.
