For a church, the architectural structure and design is unique. Some have described it as a “stylized barn, appropriate to the agricultural history of the area,” which certainly fits. Others see it as a covered bridge, with portals leading to the altar of God.
Prior to 2000, the “undercroft” or lower level, served as the meeting and social area of the church. In 2000, a fellowship hall with a full kitchen, a large, air-conditioned gathering room, a nursery, and a meeting room as well as parish offices. There is also an outdoor patio, which is often used for after service get-togethers and cookouts. We hope, in the future, to make it an internet hotspot for NIU students passing by on the “church path” connecting Normal Road with Garden Street and adjacent NIU buildings.
