The church's bell tower is free standing, built as a tall, thin pyramid with a bell in the middle. The main structure consists of 6X6 timbers running from the concrete pad on which it stands to the peak of the tower. Above the bell the tower is enclosed and completely open from the bell to the ground. Bell and yoke appear to be iron, with no inscriptions on either that we could find. At the bottom of the tower, on a small concrete base, is a bronze plaque dedicating the bell tower to Lawrence J. Reynolds & Donald Z. Dutton. The plaque reads as follows:
THE BELL TOWER
IS IN MEMORY OF
LAWRENCE J. REYNOLDS &
DONALD Z. DUTTON
JAN. 5, 1997

The church itself, which serves a congregation of just 23 at last count, is relatively modest. It is a single story wood framed bungalow style building with a canopy over the front entrance and the equivalent of a transept at the rear which probably instead serves as a church hall and/or offices.
