The Iglesia Ni Cristo Locale of Bago Bantay (Tagalog: Lokal ng Bago Bantay) is a chapel of the Philippine-based Christian sect the Iglesia ni Cristo. Located along Efifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA), Bago Bantay, Quezon City, it was completed on November 15, 1964, and was the third chapel dedicated by Brother Erano Manalo upon the death of Brother Felix Y. Manalo in 1963. Currently, it is the only INC chapel located along EDSA.
Built by architect Carlos A. Santos-Viola and based on the last design concepted by Brother Manalo himself, the chapel was the first to be built in steep gable, also the arcaded side facade. It is the second largest chapel ever built during its time. Its interiors feature the widest nave built during its time and also one of the highest in terms of floor to ceiling height. The overall design was inspired by the Gothic cathedrals of Europe, particularly San Sebastian Church in Manila.[1]
Currently the chapel is under renovation to meet the new standards of the INC Construction and Engineering Department. When the chapel is rededicated it will feature a centralized airconditioning system and also a new design of the interior. The exterior will be repainted in a blue-grey scheme and with minimal modifications of the exterior design.
