"The Church of the Apostles, an evangelical church located in Atlanta, Georgia. The church was founded in 1987 by Michael Youssef, who left Egypt to attend college in Australia and later immigrated to the United States in 1977.

The prominent Neo-Gothic building is visible from Interstate 75, just south of the Mt. Paran Road exit. The sanctuary seats 2,800, is 240 feet (73 m) high, consists of 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of space, and has over 90 stained-glass windows. The west stained-glass windows depict the Apostles, and the stairwell and perimeter stained-glass windows depict the life of Jesus. The rose window is also notable. In addition to the main sanctuary, the facility also includes a 450-seat chapel, fellowship hall, classrooms, administrative space and a parking garage."

  2. I remember it well, too. We used to pass it on the way home. It must be seen in person to really appreciate how impressive it is.
