A stylized dove of beaten metal, probably copper, is suspended above the chancel, appearing to fly out over the congregation. The dove is lowered during baptismal services for use as the baptismal font. The pews, with rounded edges and slightly peaked ends, are similar to those at the Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs are intended to symbolize angels wings. The left side wall is brick and is composed of angled, stepped sections. The right side wall is plaster and curves towards the front of the room to the entrance to the chancel area.
Balconies have solid wood balustrades trimmed with metal.
A small chapel on one end of the building has pews from the congregation s original church. The exterior of the church combines brick, marble, and concrete panels. Incorporated into the design is a semi-detached bell tower. The Hornet's Nest is the symbol of Mecklenburg County. In 1780 the British army occupied Charlotte and its environs.
