The church was founded in 1984 and it is a part of the Presbyterian Church of USA
In 1983 the area known as North Raleigh was totally different from how it is today. There were a few shopping centers and schools but no churches. At this time a group of citizens living in N. Raleigh began to worship together on Sundays at Children's World daycare on the corner of Ray and Strickland Roads. They quickly outgrew the space. The were given access to Lynn Road Elementary school on Sundays. By 1984 the N. Raleigh Presbyterian Church was officially organized.
In 1989 N. Raleigh Presbyterian Church moved into what is now called their Faith Ministeries Building. In 2002 they dedicated their new sanctuary.
The more I looked at this steeple the more I wanted to look at it.
There is something about it that simpley intrigues me......
Pictures were taken on July 5, 2010...absolutely beautiful blue skies but also very, very hot.
It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!

Good morning C.
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting steeple, it has very modern lines compared to the others you have featured. I kept enlarging the photos just to get a closer look at it.
I see they have lights aimed at the steeple, I'll bet it looks really cool at night.
Hugs,

Hello Madi Diva Cat!
ReplyDeleteFirsts we have to come clean on somthings,(from our own bloggie) the term "chain of shame" is Maggie Mae's, we just adopted it and can take no credit for its origination.
Now, about the steeple, this looks Art Deco to my uneducated (but non-the-less-brilliant hooman) but we read from your blog it built in 1984. It is very unusual though.

Gosh, I thinks that is one of my very favoritest steeples yet! I wonder where a Church gets a steeple? Do they call a steeple designer? Do they design it themselves? Go to Steeples R Us?
