Mr Brown said the new Kingdom Hall was built entirely with voluntary labour, with funds that had been raised by the Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide brotherhood.
"They knew we had a need and we didn't have to raise our own funds, it was all provided for us."
He said money raised through the brotherhood was given by people "who simply want to contribute, there's no compulsory giving".
"There's no collection taken at the Kingdom Hall. If a person wants to give, it's purely from their heart, and if they can't donate or don't want to no one would ever know because we don't keep records."
About three years ago, the Featherston centre had an average of just 21 members a week, but that number was steadily increasing, Mr Brown said.
"We're getting larger and larger numbers at attendances. The numbers are on the upswing for sure."
Mr Brown said Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs directly related to the Bible.
"This Earth was never designed for the suffering that we have become used to and our creator will put an end to the injustices of this system," he said.
"God's kingdom, or the heavenly government, will address the problems that we now face. He will step in and clean the Earth of wickedness and will usher in a righteous new system."
Jehovah's Witnesses media contact Rodney Spinks said having a Kingdom Hall in Featherston gave people living in the community the opportunity to learn about the Bible and Christian living.
"As Jehovah's Witnesses have lived in this community for decades, the original location was selected due to its central location.
"Today, it still remains a suitable location to service our approximately 38 members living in the area, along with others from the community who wish to attend."
