The church building consists of two naves separated by a roller shutter wall and the church tower . The nave served with altar , pulpit , baptismal font and a loft with a Steinmann - organ as a place of worship . In the side aisle there was a community hall and classrooms. The church was renovated and rebuilt in 1998 so that the side nave and main nave now form a single church space.
