The New United Baptist Church Building, located on Chicago's west side in an urban setting represents new hope to the community in which it is located. The neighborhood, now mostly factories, and industrial buildings, with old graystone and brick Victorian and Queen Ann style townhouses, scattered about the neighborhood, represented the significant Chicago style architecturally at the turn of the century after the Chicago fire of 1871.

The project is a new building complex adjacent to an existing church on the property, which is comprised of a new chapel with seating for 1,250 parishioners, a connecting portico link and entrance, and an adjacent community center building which houses administrative and pastor's offices. The building complex surrounds and encloses a courtyard garden which allows for social and private functions of the church. The main chapel is accessed through the enclosed portico and access to the chapel can be made to the immediate left or to the community center building to the immediate right. The main chapel can also be entered on axis at a formal entrance through the garden courtyard. Once inside the main chapel, the lobby provides access to a reception desk area, children's nursery, and a private pastor's office. The main chapel with a 35 foot high ceiling is reminiscent of a cathedral with 5 20 foot high dormers over each side of the main seating area, which gives the space a medieval character of the old world style churches seen in Europe. Large arches in laminated wood span the space 10 feet on center. The church on the outside is a combination of red face brick and cut stone white accent bands. The roof is green metal.
