It has elements of the Queen Anne style, which was popular for houses around that time. It also includes touches of English Gothic and Spanish designs.
Some of the special features of the church include a beautiful stained glass window with three parts. It also has a unique area at the front called a chancel, which sticks out in a semi-octagonal shape. The main roof is very steep, and you can see the wooden beams, or rafters, inside. Besides the main church, the property also has a Parish House and a Parsonage. The Parish House is where church activities and meetings happen. The Parsonage is the house where the minister lives.
