The Church is open to all. The architectural style of the Church is called "Boyko", and is derived from western Ukraine. Their website boasts that is is one of only 2 Boyko churches with 5 cupolas (the other is in Ukraine).
There is a stand of icons at the front of the Sanctuary, referred to as the "Iconostas".
In the front of the facility is a large series of bells contained in a belfry - this is a plenty large structure in itself, and like the church it is built with heavy timbers of Douglas Fir and sided with cedar.
To the east of the Church is a small cemetary.
