Two doorways are separated by a large central shuttered window with a louvered rounded top. Above is a pediment with a closed semi-circle. Rising from the pediment and the gable roof is a steeple.
The steeple has a square tower at the base with a single multi-pane rectangular window. Above is a belfry with louvered windows with rounded tops. The steeple is topped with a tapered hexagonal spire topped by a finial.
The sides of the building are five bays deep with rectangular windows flanked by green shutters on both the lower and upper levels. An addition is attached to the back of the church at a 120 degree angle to the northwest of the main block.
