The Church appears to have been designed in a Doric style, with tall columns beside the entrance. It is painted cream, with light brown highlighted columns and surrounds. To the right of the entrance is a 4m tall, green-painted Bell Tower (though it does not seem to be active.)
Inside the Church the outer Doric influence is lost, and more Orthodox elements are put in place. A red carpet runner goes down the aisle between the two rows of wooden pews. Ecclesiastical styled paintings are across the front, in the rear half-dome, and above the gallery seating sections to either side. A very ornate chandelier candle-holder is hang from the exposed beam ceiling near the entrance, with three crystal prism, chandeliers with what looks like candles, are hanging nearer the pulpit.
