The Gothic Renaissance church with brick-wood structure consists of big hall and three-storey side building, forming L shape. The steep gable roof adopts herringbone type wood roof frame, similar to British hanging-roof style with its shape. The stain glass window at the main entrance, the platform of the altar, and the windows in the back of the church are all in curved shape.
This building was firstly named as Community Church, which was the biggest Christian church in Shanghai at that time. As most of attendees were Americans, so it was named as American church. In World War II, since many European and some Chinese came here, so it was renamed as International Church.
