In 1995 the building was altered by David Gibson by adding a prayer room, meeting rooms, kitchen, toilets and a first-floor area, now a co-working space. Inside the worship area is a large open space with a glass icon of Christ the High Priest on the east wall by Doritie Kettlewell.

In 2010 a new building, Rock Tower, designed by Paul Davis and Partners was added between the church and the tower. The existing building was also renovated.
