While the outside of the church is austere, with the character of a hangar, the inside is light and light in spirit, lofty, enlivened and warmed by coloured and softer elements. Random coloured bands on the underside of the roof are a counterpoint to the rhythm of the cantilevered beams that support it. Their smoothness is a contrast to the no-fines concrete of the wall panels. The pendant light shades are each suspended almost invisibly by three wires from the roof while the catenary of the white electric cable from the wall appears at first glance to be the support for the lamp Image Note the uplighter, and the organ pipes as mural sculpture.
