A red brick Free Gothic building on a squat Greek cross plan, with a terracotta-tiled roof and a corner tower with castellated parapet and slender spire. The adjacent church hall, added in 1965 by Daryl Jackson Evan Walker, is Brutalist-style red brick building with a jagged skillion roofline.
The four elevations are similarly expressed, with clinker brick buttresses to each edge, moulded parapet copings, rendered stringcourses with blind tracery, and, in the centre, three lancet windows with moulded surrounds.
