The church, built between 1920 and 1930, was a former schoolhouse. The school initially was a two-room building composed of brick laid in one-to-six common bond with three bays. In 1937 the building was remodeled to add a projecting three-bay gable-roof entry with double-leaf doors and transom to the main facade. Nine years later, in 1946, a small belfry with steep pyramidal roof was built.
