This complex is the oldest church congregation on same site in Tempe. The original
church building was constructed in 1898, while the present building was constructed in
1953. Prior Hall may have been constructed c. 1948.
This building represents the typical style for many of the church buildings found in
this area of Tempe. Simplicity in detailing and smaller-scaled massing are the typical
character-defining elements for churches in Tempe. The modern alterations to the historic
hall at the south portion of the building are sensitive to the character and detailing of
the original features. This building provides a positive contribution to the area and is a
prominent building.
