Community Christian Church (Kansas City, Missouri)
[1] It is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination, which has a heavy representation in the Kansas City area.[2] 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-inch (41 cm) xenon bulbs ignited by 40,000 volts of electricity, that, in combination with a parabolic reflector, produces 300 million candlepower of illumination (per light, 1.2 billion cp total) in a near-perfect column.It has been calculated to stop at least 3 miles (4.8 km) above the Earth, about half the maximum height at which jet airplanes fly.The Steeple of Light is lit regularly on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays;[1] has extended hours on holidays; and remains dark on the two days before Easter.
