Although the ARRC demanded that the churches be built of logs, the Lutherans found available materials too valuable to ignore. They built a wood-framed church, using surplus materials from the government coal mine at Chickaloon. The shiplap siding on the exterior is rounded to resemble logs. The gable-fronted church has a two-story tower. It now serves as the entrance to an auditorium, which has been added in the rear.
