A significant milestone was reached on 13th March 2026 as the Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma officially broke ground for its new Conference Centre in Toorak, Suva. The project, estimated at approximately $15 million, represents a bold step forward in strengthening the Church's mission, leadership, and national engagement.
Church leaders, ministers, and members from across the country gathered for the historic ceremony, united in thanksgiving and anticipation. The event was marked by worship, prayer, and a shared sense of purpose, as the Church committed this important development into God's hands.
The new Conference Centre is envisioned as a central hub for the life and work of the Church. It will provide a dedicated space for annual conferences, leadership training, workshops, and national consultations. More than just a building, the centre reflects the Church's long-term vision to enhance governance, foster unity, and support the holistic development of its people.
In his remarks, the President of the Church highlighted that the groundbreaking is not only about construction, but about laying a strong foundation for future generations. He emphasized that the centre will play a key role in nurturing Christ-centered leadership and enabling more effective ministry across Fiji and Rotuma.
The Toorak development also signals the Church's commitment to growth and sustainability, ensuring that its structures and resources are aligned with the demands of a changing world. It stands as a testament to the faith, generosity, and collective effort of members who continue to support the mission of the Church.
As construction begins, the Methodist Church in Fiji looks ahead with hope and confidence, trusting that this new Conference Centre will serve as a place of gathering, guidance, and transformation for many years to come.
