| The Glass and Garden Community Church was designed by E. Logan Campbell and built in 1965. At that time, it was known as the Glass and Garden Drive-in Church and offered outdoor services. The building now houses the Trinity Church. There were speaker poles in the parking lot like a drive-in theatre. This was especially popular with senior citizens and the handicapped. Although the speaker poles are gone, the church still offers drive-in services. The building features four-inch-thick concrete walls and a 140 foot diameter dome. Just before these photos were taken in 2012, the church was repainted, covering up the green stone aggregate and the unpainted concrete trim. In 2016, the building was repainted white again. The "Jesus Saves" sign is located around the back of the church. I don't know how old it is or where it came from. It could possibly be one of the retro signs created for the Mars Hill Church project in 2014. However, I don't see the "M" tag on the side of the sign unless it was around the other side or removed.
