The Marracoonda Baptist Church is built of local stone with locally made brick corners and has a steep pitched corrugated iron gable roof. The interior of the church features wide jarrah tongue and groove flooring and a raised alter. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs Metters, the wife of the Rev Alfred Metters who was based at Katanning, on 3 June 1903.
