The building is about one and a half stories tall. It has a gable roof, which means the roof slopes down on two sides, forming a triangle at each end. There is also a steeple, which is a tall, pointed tower often found on churches.
The church is about 45 feet (13.7 meters) long and 24 feet (7.3 meters) wide. It sits on a strong foundation made of rocks.
