The church was designed by architect Frederick Velguth in the German Gothic Revival style and built in 1901.

[3] Akin to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church across the Menomonee River, it features a landmark spire and sandstone details on the façade.

The altar, pulpit, lectern and a false door, as well as the roof and the cross atop the steeple are from the late 1940s.

The ceiling of the church, which contains gold leafing, is from 1984, as are the crosses painted on the walls behind the altar and many of the light fixtures.

One unique feature of the church is the basement windows, cut in the west wall at an angle to maximize afternoon sun.
