Creflo Dollar Proposes To Build Megachurch In NYC

Atlanta pastor Creflo Dollar is looking to build a megachurch in New York City.  Dolllar made a pitch to take over the Kingsbridge Armory in The Bronx and turn it into an arena and multipurpose facility — and he’d pay for the development with his own financing, according to sources.  Dollar’s offer was prompted by a yearlong study of the armory by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., who helped to scuttle the last proposal put together by the Bloomberg administration to turn it into a retail and entertainment center.

Reports by the New York Post state:

Dollar “wants to turn it into a multi-use facility,” one source said. “He’s got a huge following and needs an arena.”

But the source cautioned, “You’d be handing over a public property to a religious institution. That would require a lot of discussion.”

Another source said that Dollar — who travels the nation in a Gulfstream jet and packs Madison Square Garden for weekend-long revivals — has virtually no chance of taking over the city-owned facility, even though his ministries are taking in $65 million a year.

He already has an 8,500-seat auditorium in Atlanta, but a venture in The Bronx would create a base for a larger market in a building that could be used as a convention center. Officials have been trying since the 1990s to figure out what to do with Kingsbridge, a 5-acre site that is one of the largest armories in the nation.

“Lets start making some changes , lets change the way we eat, the way we live and lets change THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER.”
                     -Tupac Shakur
 (GWOP News)
The event, held at the Atlanta Symphony Hall acted as a 40th birthday celebration for Tupac, which featured Jasmine Guy, Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Dj Drama, Outlawz, Bun B, Warren G, Too Short, jazz singer/producer Roy Ayers and Erykah Badu.

Erykah Badu commented on Tupac at the event.

“My first reaction to Tupac was he’s not a rapper, he’s not an actor, he’s a savior of sorts. But he came at a time when people weren’t looking for a savior, they were looking for someone who looked like them,” she said. “But saviors, sometimes are just doing the work, they are just doing their job.”

Then, the beautiful singer proceeded to speak and sing a song, “Soldier,” in dedication to Afeni Shakur.


Comedian Mike Epps served as the Master of Ceremonies and he also presented Afeni Shakur with a $10,000 check for TASF. Approximately 500 people attended the celebration.
