In shape it is an octagonal building with ‘arms’ serving a number of purposes. There is also an octagonal baptistery. It is built out of light coloured brick, concrete and glass, with a polished wooden ceiling. Seating on chairs.

It was designed for community use as well as spiritual worship so it has a large functional interior.
