Heritage value

Completed in 1929, this simple wood-frame church is maintained in its original form, standing as a monument to the former congregation. The exterior demonstrates a subdued Gothic Revival influence, particularly evident in the central tower, the gable roof and pointed-arch windows. A simple wood-accented sanctuary occupies the main floor. Below the arched ceiling, a central aisle leads from the entrance to the pulpit, dividing the rows of pews. The basement, used as a community hall, is a large single room which incorporates a kitchen.
