The KJC King Dome, is a multipurpose indoor arena broke ground in September 3, 2012 and is currently under construction in Davao City. Originally planned solely as a cathedral for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, the arena will be also used for other events such as concerts, boxing events and basketball games. The structure is being built beside the Francisco Bangoy (Davao) International Airport complex.[3][4]

The King Dome will be part of a mixed-used development costing around ₱7.981 billion. The complex planned for completion in 2025 will house a condominium hotel, a hotel and museum, a hangar, a water park, a hotel and commercial center, and an administration complex.[2]
