This centrally planned church is a cement rendered brick building with parapet walls that conceal a galvanised corrugated iron roof.
It is situated on a sloping site on the corner of Upper Edward Street and Wickham Terrace, overlooking the central business district, with the main entrance on the higher Wickham Terrace side.

The front facade is distinguished by centrally positioned entry stairs and an attached tower, surmounted by a cupola, that is prominently located on the southwest corner, the highest part of the site.
With the exception of the four-storeyed tower, the building is two storeys tall and sits on a base that forms a third storey, visible at the rear and sides.

All four facades are composed of variations of the same classically derived elements and motifs and are symmetrical except for the location of the tower.
Each facade is divided into three bays, the central bay being larger than the two peripheral bays.

The central bay sits proud on the front and rear elevations and recedes slightly on the east and west elevations.
Each central bay is further divided into three parts and has a rose window in the centre of the upper level.
All other openings are arched.
On the south, east and west facades the central bay is surmounted by a triangular pediment.
Corners and compositional divisions in the facade are marked by banded rustication and rusticated pilasters.

The longer east and west elevations have two additional bays recessed between the two main bays.
In these recesses are arched entry doors that open onto the lower-ground floor.
On this level are the Sunday school rooms, lecture hall, kitchen and meeting rooms.

On the ground level above, the entry vestibule opens onto the double height space of the church; a 70-foot (21 m) wide space which is spanned by timber trusses that are concealed by a flat plaster ceiling.
In the corners of the building are two-storeyed rooms that look into this space, as does the gallery located over the vestibule.
Internal walls are plastered and contain built-in circular cast iron ventilation grates.
Decoration is restrained with the windows containing geometric patterned leadlight.

Cedar pews are arranged in a semicircular pattern facing the pulpit, baptistery, organ and choir gallery that are located at the northern end of the space and feature timber panelling.
A screen has been built behind the choir.
This screen blocks the original view from the auditorium of the north wall with its rose and arched windows and the spiralling timber stairs.
