The church building is a place of meeting and worship for Christians. Throughout history, Christianity has evolved into numerous synods spread across the world, including in Indonesia. Each sect has its own worship procedures or liturgy, which differ but still share the same identity as followers of Christ. Meanwhile, the architecture of the church building is greatly influenced by these liturgies. Not only the ornaments, spatial arrangement, and circulation in it, but also regarding the acoustics of the room, thermal comfort, and lighting. All of these elements help the congregation enjoy the spiritual experience in worship. One of the many sects of Christianity, Pentecostalism is a synod that continues to develop today in the world and in Indonesia, with its synod name being the Gereja Pantekosta di Indonesia (GPdI), which was first established in 1924, both in small and large groups. GPdI Elohim, located in Sidoarjo City, was established in 1966 and relocated to a new building on Jalan Kombespol M. Duryat in 1991. Since 2011, the main building has undergone renovation with the aim of enhancing thermal comfort, improving acoustics, upgrading sound systems, refining lighting arrangements, and enhancing other building properties. Post-occupancy studies and preference studies were conducted to determine the achievements of the renovation activities enjoyed by the congregation, and are expected to be used as a reference for other church buildings, especially in other GPdI synods
