In September, 2003, the Friday services commenced at the new Dubai Evangelical Church Centre[3] (“DECC”) in Maranatha Hall at the Churches Complex in Jebel Ali Village. By 2009, six years after DECC was constructed, the total cost of construction had been covered (primarily by members of UCCD) and all loans repaid. DECC includes large prayer halls, smaller meeting rooms, a library and an outside pool for baptisms.
