Oculus
The North Christian Church is a church in Columbus, Indiana.
The building was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) and completed in 1964.
The building is hexagonal in shape, with a central metal spire which is 192 feet (59 m) high.
Below the spire, there is an oculus that admits light into the main level.
The sanctuary is located at the center of the building, with the Lord's Table located in the center of the sanctuary.
Rows of pews surround the altar in a hexagon, reflecting the idea that worship should be a central aspect of the life of the congregation.
