The church plan is based on a hexagram, and was designed that the congregation should be gathered round the altar during services.
The church consists of a saddle like roof (hyperbolic paraboloid) which sweeps down to ground level north and south. There is clear glazing to the west, and to the east there is stained-glass by Keith New. The window, which is completely abstract, is based on a series of hexagonal shapes which echo the shape of the church in plan. The theme of the window is "Revelation of God's plan for Man's redemption".
