Funded by the Civil Society Support Programme, the study centre is geared towards developing young members of the community there so they will be better equipped for studies in schools.
A member of the church committee, Peseta Arasi Tiotio, said the project cost $90,000.
“It has been a challenging project for the congregation,” she said.

“However we made it and so all the glory and honour be unto God because without Him, we wouldn’t have been able to complete this project.”
Education, Peseta said, is extremely important.
“And this study centre exists to help the children with their school studies and also the young ones who were not able to complete school.”
The Centre comes fully resourced,vwith computers and other materials.
A representative of the Civil Society Support Programme, Fonoti Ferron Fruen, congratulated the church for completing their project.
“This project was a request from the church to us to have a study centre for the children,” he said.
“The church asked for $160,000 however we approved the $90,000 because the office offered to give 90 per cent and the 10 per cent is for the church to put in.
“So congratulations to you all for completing this project and may the Lord pour his blessings upon you all.”
