Construction
It was designed by Brad Coriell, sculpted by James Lynch, and assembled by Mark Mitten.
Constructed on a metal frame or armature manufactured in nearby Lebanon, Ohio, the sculpted figure itself was created in Jacksonville, Florida, then trucked north. The main body of the statue was made from a core of Styrofoam covered by a thin skin of fiberglass.
The sculpted statue was completed in September 2004 at a cost of approximately $250,000. Money for its construction came from earmarked donations and not from the general funds of the church, and Coriell donated some of his time to the project.
