Next to the cemetery stands a monumental reinforced concrete tent. Concept for the construction was to create a "tent of God among humanity". A horizontal concrete slab seems to support the tent, while it is itself stabilized by smaller transverse concrete slabs, forming an overhanging structure. A concrete staircase leads into the interior of the church, concrete columns stabilize the roof, which is lined with wood from the inside. From the top view it can be seen that the church interior forms a T. Mosaic windows on each open side let light into the church.
