Tape cutting was the first event for the dedication event where many members waited in the plaza in front of the front gate for two hours. At 12:35 pm, True Parents arrived at the scene with a big welcome applause by the attending members and offered a benediction before cutting the tape.

"I will offer this place in front of you Father, gathering all the Shim Jeong of True Parents so please accept it with joy. Please make this place the eternal unchanging protection place where you could receive it with joy and victory. In the name of True Parents, I sincerely pray that this place will be one of the important places for the peace king. Please accept this."

With the shout of Rev. Jae-sun Choi, Director of Progress Department of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center, True Parents, members of the True Children and distinguished guests cut the tape and great salute of paper tape flew into the sky celebrating this amazing moment.

After entering the front entrance True Parents started to purify the place with holy salt. Then promptly, the unveiling ceremony of the calligraphy writing 'True Parents of Heavenly Love and Original Homeland of Heavenly Love' was held. After pulling down the curtains and revealing the calligraphy writing True Parents moved to the main stage in the hall for the second part of the ceremony.
