North Christian Church, Modernist church in Columbus, United States
The North Christian Church features a hexagonal layout with a central 192-foot metal spire and an oculus that directs natural light to the main level.
Eero Saarinen designed this church in 1959, following his father Eliel Saarinen who had previously created the First Christian Church in the same city.
The central altar arrangement, surrounded by mahogany pews in a hexagonal pattern, reflects the congregation's belief that worship should be the center of religious life.
The church maintains regular services and offers guided tours that explain the architectural elements and religious symbolism throughout the structure.
The building incorporates slate floors, dark mahogany furnishings, and specific lighting arrangements to create transitions between secular and sacred spaces.
