One of the earliest types of building – a round building – memorably embodies the idea of Christian togetherness and allows the apparently random site of the building to become a place in the town planning development.

The actual church hall is in the form of a quarter circle. Folding partition walls allow it to be extended into a community hall. Easy to open windows in the large community room enable it to be used as a gallery during church services. The curved wall behind the altar is of white limed wood, the floor and the specially designed chairs of the church of smoked oak contrast interestingly to the fair faced concrete walls.
