    I love the people, within the community. They are very liberating. It is not often that you see…read morethe power of God financially, with the diversity that the community brings to the all believers. Rev. Sights, make me pleased to know that I am strong, courageous, a woman, and I should have the equality of Gods compassion as well, even though I am "Black", wonderfully, yet fearfully made. She has never once made me feel bad about my color, differences, challenges, my background, and always have given the upmost care and hospitality. I love the office staff, the pantry, and the area (the atmosphere alone helps to bring healing for all believers). If you want to succeed and overcome Mamath this is the place to be. Sent with Love, La Tasha Marie Taylor

    Most people don't realize that this church is one of three area buildings designed by Frank Lloyd…read moreWright (probably the most well-known architect in the US). It may not be too exciting from the outside during the day, but at night its 'steeple of light' pierces the night sky and creates a temporary, nocturnal landmark on KC's skyline. I can not comment on the Church that is housed in this structure, but this building is a landmark...one that usually goes unnoticed. A short history and info from Wikipedia: "In April 1940, Community Christian Church came to Wright and asked him to design a new building for them after a fire had destroyed their last church. Wright based his design on a parallelogram including some features previously conceived for his last building for Johnson Wax Company, along with one additional unique feature: a spire of light. Due to high building costs, the scale of the church was reduced during construction. The auditorium was cut back from a planned 1,200 seats to 900 seats, many details were eliminated, and the building was sheathed in gunite, a form of lightweight concrete, over Wright's objections. The spire of light also could not be built and illuminated due to technical limitations of the times. However, the church was dedicated on January 4, 1942 and served the congregation well. In 1994, the Spire of Light was finally completed as planned. The components are housed on the church roof inside of a perforated dome on the building's northwestern corner. The spire is created by four 16" xenon bulbs ignited by 40,000 volts of electricity, then, in combination with a parabolic reflector, produces 300 million candlepower of illumination in a near perfect column. The spire can be seen for miles around Kansas City, and reportedly can be spotted 10 miles north of the Plaza, depending on conditions. It has been calculated to stop at least 3 miles up above the earth, about half the maximum height at which jet airplanes fly."
