A massive concrete building with a pent roof forms the church building. A staircase leads the visitor to a roofed forecourt which forms a small inner courtyard. Irregular frosted glass window slits characterize the exposed concrete façade. Some of them are pointed and only allow indirect light into the interior, others are set back in the façade. The window design loosens up the monolithic character of the building.
