Summary
This Madison church is architecturally significant as a modest but representative example of the Romanesque Revival style. Wide rounded arches over windows and doors, multiple towers and the use of different colored brick are all hallmarks of the style. In addition, this building is also significance for its adherence to the Akron Plan, where a central rounded portion of the building is divided into individual "pie-shaped" classrooms for Sunday school instruction. The church also features beautiful stained glass windows depicting various biblical scenes.
