If the piety of a church was determined by the relative size of its steeple . . . this church might be the most pious! :-)
I've driven by this little church always meaning to stop and photograph it. Yesterday the evening light was such I decided to have a go at it.
The main church, behind me, originally had this steeple but it was removed years ago when the church was expanded. With the addition a new steeple was also added. Rather than destroy the original steeple, the congregation had the steeple relocated in the church cemetery and built the small worship room below it.

A United Methodist church building in the Pocono Mountains, northeastern PA. Church architecture long ago adopted the steeple because of the ancient belief that God lived in a heaven beyond the domed sky that covers the earth. The steeple points toward God, reminding folks to think of the divine each day. Is that a reasonable way to remind people of God in a generation that routinely sends space shuttles past the dome? Can our language enter the post-modern era? People are hungry for spiritual truth, but their education surpasses the old wisdom on which our symbols are based. Is that, perhaps, why this church is closed? Day ten of Project 365.
Situated at Glasgow Cross, the steeple is all that remains of the Tolbooth which was built in 1627 to house Glasgow's council chamber and administrative headquarters. It also served as the city prison. The old building was demolished after the First World War. Evidence of where the building was attached can be seen in the difference in stone colour on the left hand side of the tower.
