Designed in a free interpretation of the Gothic style, the Baptist Church is of red brick construction with a steeply pitched, terracotta shingled gabled roof. Window openings along the side elevations are positioned between stepped buttresses, and have cement rendered hoods, sills and Perpendicular Gothic style tracery. The corner square tower is oriented at 45 degrees to the church, and has an unusual buttressed, copper clad spire. The gable end is infilled with shingles.
The Foundation stone was laid by F.P. Morris Esq 21 March 1925. The architect was L.E. Warner and the builder was G.H. Hannah.
