The shape of the church's tall steeple suggests Gothic Revival style, but wasn't added until 1890, being added by local carpenter and church member Charles Wilson. Otherwise the church has Classical Revival details.

It is significant as "the first church building to be constructed in the town of Pescadero solely for religious purposes. It is now the oldest, surviving wooden church building on its original site and in continuous church usage and without major renovations in the San Francisco Peninsula and Santa Clara Valley region."
