The church was constructed and has maintained its original structure throughout its existence, which led to its recognition as a Grade II listed building. This status reflects its architectural and historical significance to Southampton.

The congregation is primarily made up of students from Southampton Solent University who gather here regularly. The church provides space for diverse forms of worship centered on biblical teaching.

The church is easily accessed from Devonshire Road, and visitors can freely explore the building. Regular services and community events are held, where drop-in visitors are welcome.
