Conservative yet modern is the message evoked by the Gothic Revival forms of this church. It is built of rusticated yellowish Catawba stone, a material that is often used regionally for religious buildings. The massive, gable-end church features a pointed-arched entrance surmounted by a Tudor-arch stained glass window and flanked by double buttressing. A wing is connected to the rear of the church by a large, square corner bell tower.
