Five years later, on Christmas Eve, World Changers Church International moved into an 8,500-seat facility called the World Dome, which was built for close to $20 million, allegedly without any bank financing. The congregation was reported to have around 30,000 members by 2007. Later, in 2012, Dollar leased Loews Paradise Theater in New York City's Bronx borough for a new church location.
