It is a gable-front log building with a vestibule. It was built by carpenters Fred L. Mefford and Al Drescher. It is a relatively rare surviving example of work by Al Drescher, who built much of Rosebud. Drescher immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in 1888, at age 23. The church is unusual among Drescher's work as a log structure rather than a frame structure.[2]
