The Amazing Facts W.O.R.D. Center (World Outreach, Revival, and Discipleship) is a 90,000-square-foot religious and media campus designed to serve as the global headquarters for Amazing Facts International. Completed in 2020, the facility integrates a 1,500-seat sanctuary, administrative offices, classrooms, and a full-service broadcast studio, all situated on a 15-acre site in the Sierra Foothills. The sanctuary features theater-style seating and advanced audiovisual systems to support both in-person worship and international media outreach. Supporting facilities house ministry operations and educational programs, creating a unified environment for worship, learning, and mission expansion. The campus was constructed using tilt-up concrete panels to achieve efficient delivery, long-term durability, and cost-effectiveness.
Designed by Soderstrom Architects and constructed by Sierra View General Contractor, the W.O.R.D. Center reflects a mission-driven approach to architecture and delivery. Ford Audio-Video Systems integrated 4K-capable broadcasting, LED theatrical lighting, and digital communications throughout the facility. The project was delivered debt-free and officially dedicated in April 2022. Since its opening, the campus has functioned as a regional anchor for faith-based gatherings and a global hub for digital evangelism. The facility exemplifies a rare combination of sacred space and technological infrastructure in a single, purpose-built campus.
