Taken from the NRHP form, "Set on a parged soapstone foundation, the wood-frame gable-roofed church has a half-engaged square corner tower with belfry. The tower is topped by a pyramidal roof with a metal finial. The main entrance to the church is in the tower bay. This entrance has double 6-panel doors and a single pane transom. Sheltering the entrance is a gabled door hood with a weatherboarded gable peak supported by wooden angle brackets. A circular louvered vent is located in the gable peak of the main block. All of the windows of the main block of the church are 2/2 double-hung stained glass windows. The main block extends four bays deep, while a smaller gabled addition extends further to the rear. Other detailing includes a molded wood cornice with returns, a diamond-light window in the main gable, and a side-elevation tower entry."
