[2] It has operated for over a hundred years, one of 164 active Baptist churches in Scotland in the early twenty-first century serving 14,000 members.

[3][4][5] The church building features red sandstone, a traditional gable with projected front porch and arched doorway.

Designed by architect Hugh Campbell (1863-1926)[6] of Glasgow it is a recognized noteworthy building in Maybole and the wider Carrick area of southern Scotland.

[23] Nineteenth century industrialization also impacted Maybole, with the town seeing much new manufacturing of agricultural implements and shoes.

[24] This was significant because Baptist churches in Scotland attracted commercially active and middle class congregations.

As comparison, the nearby Maybole Library was built in the same decade for £2,500, based on one donation from American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.

[42] Although congregations declined from the 1930s peak some modest increase in attendance at Baptist churches within Scotland happened in the late 20th century.

Activities include regular Christian services and community use of the church building,[44] registered charity status with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (number SC021239),[45] participating in Remembrance Sunday services held each 11 November, and participating in the annual gala of the Maybole Council of Churches.
