62-ft long King of Kings statue of Jesus (19 m) was located at the Solid Rock Church near Monroe, Ohio.
On June 14, 2010 the statue was apparently struck by lightning, and suffered major damage in the resulting blaze.The statue was sculpted using a thin skin of fiberglass over a flammable styrofoam interior stabilized by a metal frame, and the fire left only its internal metal structure.
Following the fire, the pastor of the church stated that they plan to have the statue rebuilt.
