The building on the junction of King Street and Rhosddu Road (adjacent to the bus station),[9] was built in 1907[10]–08 and officially opened in 1908, although the church congregation existed before the building.[5][4][11] The church was built for the English Calvinistic Methodists as a replacement for their Hill Street premises, which is now the Grove Park Theatre. When it was built it housed a schoolroom. The schoolroom was occupied by late 1907, when the first service occurred.[12] The building was designed by William Beddoe Rees from Cardiff, and is a Grade II listed building.[11]
The building (including its chapel)[13] is made of Ruabon red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof with terracotta crestings, and some additional yellow sandstone.[12] It is of the Perpendicular Gothic architectural style,[4][11] although also described to contain elements of the Arts and Crafts movement,[13] with a long-wall entry plan[11] and contains a tower. The entrance to the church is located at the base of the tower, with the tower forming a fourth bay on the west side. The tower is brick at its bottom, while becoming largely stone at its top, topped with a pyramidal spirelet. All windows on the building are simple stained glass with art nouveau motifs.[4]
The church's main hall is at a right angle to the church at the south-west corner of the site. There are further rooms in the asymmetrical rear wings of the building, either side of the hall range.[4]
The site of the building is bounded by a brick wall with stone copings, gate piers, and cast-iron gates.[4]
