As a spokesperson for Ebenezer Chapel noted, the underground chapel will be created after excavating 32,000 tons of granite from beneath 6 acres of existing park land. The building that will be constructed in the carved out area will be an ideal place for visitors to sit quietly in contemplation and peace, and will also be used for events like weddings and special events.
“Ebenezer Chapel will use leading-edge innovations in architecture and design, engineering, acoustics and sustainability practices to hew a chapel underneath the earth that will become a place of prayer, meditation and hope for people from around the world,” the spokesperson said, adding that Boone and his team estimate that the chapel will be around for at least 3,000 years.
Visitors who arrive at Ebenezer Chapel will first enjoy the beautiful large park before beginning their descent to the sanctuary. As they slowly walk through the concourse, they will be surrounded by natural light, corten steel and raw granite until they finally reach the peaceful tranquility of the chapel itself. The walls of the chapel will display artwork that represents faith and Christianity.
In order to help pay for the many costs associated with building Ebenezer Chapel, Boone and his team recently launched a fundraiser on Indiegogo. There, they hope to raise $40,000 through crowdfunding and help make their dream of an underground chapel a reality.
“Our team from Raleigh and designers from Barcelona have completed the innovative concept and designs, which are endorsed, and now we need to take the first step in building, which is to take core samplings to determine the best way to proceed with creating the mine-turned-chapel,” the spokesperson said.
