The church is located in the heart of the Old Headington Conservation area, and to relate to this unique context, the building is articulated into three distinct spatial elements. These run parallel to the Old High Street and consist of a two-storey zone containing the domestic scale meeting rooms; a tall, naturally lit circulation zone and the main body of the church, a larger single-storey worship space.

The circulation zone acts as a threshold and separates the building into two distinct activities: the everyday, related to the street; and the sacred/worship space, related to the Croft. The roof of the worship area is articulated from the supporting stone walls by clerestory lighting, designed to bring diffused lighting into the interior spaces.
