Crystal Cathedral Garden Grove: Crystal Cathedral Garden Grove: Crystal Cathedral Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, California. The roots of American “megachurches” go back some 50 years, but the phenomenon achieved its greatest expansion in the 1980s, in no small part because of the success of the rebuilt Garden Grove Community Church of Orange County, California—now known as the “Crystal Cathedral,” although the church is not actually the seat of a bishopric. The church is so named because its architect, Phillip Johnson, together with his partner, John Burgee, built the main sanctuary around a colossal, star-shaped frame, rising to 128 feet (39 m) at its apex and filled with more than 10,000 panes of glass.
