From AMBASSADOR WATCH at: homepages.ihug.co.nz/~gavinru/watch.htm
SOLD!
Auditorium and campus properties gone.
An announcement appears on the church website at www.wcg.org/eastcampus.htm.
The Worldwide Church of God today announced the sale of approximately 13 acres of its 31-acre west campus to Ambassador Acquisition Partners, LLC, comprised of Harvest Rock Church and Maranatha High School.
The sale includes what was once part of the main campus of Ambassador College. The transaction includes the college’s famed Ambassador Auditorium, Hall of Administration, Physical Education Complex, Student Center and Men’s Dormitory.
Harvest Rock will be the new owner of the Ambassador Auditorium. The Ambassador Auditorium has historically been used primarily as a worship center and, secondarily, as a world-renowned concert hall. Maranatha High School will also have use of the Ambassador Auditorium for performing and theatre arts productions pursuant to an agreement with Harvest Rock Church.
The Worldwide Church of God plans to retain its headquarters offices in Pasadena for now by utilizing the remaining 17 acres of the campus and leasing back space from Maranatha as needed while exploring options for the future. Due to both the previous sale of the Ambassador College’s East Campus on the other side of the 710 Freeway, and the sale announced today, the Church will withdraw its application for the Ambassador Campus Development Plan from the City of Pasadena.
From WCG Press statement:
Today the WCG announced that Harvest Rock Church and Maranatha Schools had purchased part of the campus. They now have the Hall of Ad, Auditorium (Harvest Rock), Student Center, Track, Gymnasium and Grove Terrace. As off 3:00 Friday afternoon, the church no longer owns any of those buildings. The church will be leasing back portions till they move to the new facility. The upper campus was not sold. The WCG has pulled it's application from the City of Pasadena and will take a few weeks breather, before anything is determined in that area. WCG will now only occupy the 2,3, and 4th floors of the Hall of Ad. Those offices in the first floor will be moved elsewhere in the building.
Employees were shocked when they came into the Auditorium today and saw that the two candelabra had been dismantled. The chandeliers are going to be auctioned off along with the Steinway piano.
