The design of Christ the King Presbyterian Church is based on aspects of the Gothic Revival style, as adapted to conform to the specific requirements of the church’s modern-day site, and program. Such exterior features as buttresses and stone trims foster this intention, as do the proportions of the window and door openings and the irregular massing of the building elements.

The use of stucco as the main exterior finish also has Gothic Revival precedents. One overall strategy of the building design is to accommodate the large bulk of the church’s many and variegated functions in a flat-roofed volume, which efficiently facilitates rooftop mechanical units. This strategy brings the contrasting and more detailed profile of the Fellowship Hall to the foreground as a special feature. In a future phase, the sanctuary will also be designed in the Gothic Revival style and will serve as the new centerpiece for the complex as a whole. Special interior spaces such as the gathering hall and the fellowship hall recall the traditional roots of the overall project design, while employing a simplified vocabulary of materials and details that respond to modern-day needs.
