New Birth Missionary Baptist Church's Easter service will be held at the Georgia Dome as planned.

"They are going to move forth with it," said A.J. Pace, spokesman for the Georgia World Congress Center, which runs the dome.

The safety of the dome for the Sunday service had been in doubt since last Friday's tornado caused damage in the 16-year-old building. The damage caused last weekend's SEC men's basketball tournament to move from the dome to Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

"Following last week's storm, the Georgia Dome closed to assess the building and is back on track for Sunday's service," a statement on the dome Web site said.

The dome has been the home for Bishop Eddie Long's New Birth Missionary Easter service for 14 years. It has drawn in excess of 30,000 worshippers.

Sunday's service begins at 10 a.m. Doors will open at 8 a.m. The service is free to the public.
