The architectural style has a typical British flavor, distinct from other churches in Tianjin, making it unique. The land for the church was donated by the British concession's municipal council in 1893. The location is at the intersection of present-day Tai'an Road and Zhejiang Road. At that time, this area was still a water village. The construction of the church took 10 years and was officially completed in 1903. All the pastors of the church were British. In May 1935, a fire severely damaged the chapel. The restoration work was completed in June 1936. The unique architectural style here attracts many photography enthusiasts to take pictures.
