Father Wales' Church in Pumping Station 5.
- “We believe in the Daughter of the Lamb, hallowed savior and anointed vessel, whose blood with our blood, sin with our sin, mind with our minds, life with our life, lifts us up from the depths, transcends base temptation, and delivers us all from ego. We commend ourselves to the New and Unknown, borne by our common strength, and guided by the Lamb.”
- ― Simon Wales
Pumping Station 5 is, as the name suggests, a pumping station in Siren Alley. It's the center of operations for Father Simon Wales' underground church and the Rapture Family. Subject Delta is required to go here to drain Dionysus Park.
History
Pumping Station 5 is the main pumping station for the nearby area, including Siren Alley and Dionysus Park. Sofia Lamb cultivated a following by tending to the most desperate of Rapture's citizens and Siren Alley was an ideal base of operations. She set up an office in the pumping station and Simon Wales began to proselytize. The large, open space now primarily serves as the base of Simon Wales' chapel.
Temple of the Lamb
Temple of the Lamb is a secret church for the Rapture Family overseen by Simon Wales. It is where Father Wales and his cult worship Eleanor Lamb becoming the future of Rapture and Mankind. Subject Delta enters the place and fights his way through hordes of Splicers, killing Father Wales in the process. When Sofia Lamb overrides the pump system, the Temple, along with the rest of Siren Alley, becomes completely flooded.
The location contains many portraits, shrines and even Eleanor's dress conserved in a glass case, adding to several other such objects around Siren Alley, such as Big Daddy dolls and ADAM syringes. There's also a mural of Jack injecting himself with an EVE Hypo.
Lamb's Hideout
Lamb's Hideout consists of two offices. The first one contains a Power to the People vending machine. The second one contains many drawings by children, hinting that Eleanor Lamb probably spent a bit of her childhood here.

Behind the Scenes
- Early concept art for Father Wales' church show that it was planned to be a place of Christian teachings rather then one for the Rapture Family. This is evident from the crucifix hanging over the alter and the phrase JESUS LOVES ME written on the wall.
