This small church was built as an Original Secession Church in 1879, on a small site in St. Clair Street, Kirkcaldy. In 1957 the church became an Apostolic Church. It is a plain, single cell building which presents a gable to the street with a slightly projecting porch. To the rear at the south there is a further projection, presumably a vestry. The church sits in a small precinct on a raised site behind boundary walls. The church is now known as the Connect Church.
The church is constructed in sandstone with dressed ashlar quoins and margins, with a slate roof.
At the centre of the east gable there is a small gabled porch with a central door in a pointed arch frame which has been modernised and provided with a metal security shutter. Above this is a blank timber tympanum, with a hoodmouldwhich extends into a stringcourse. There is a fleur-de-lys finial at the apex with stepped skews finishing in moulded skewputts. The porch is flanked by two tall lancet windows with clear quarries and hoodmoulds. At the gable head there are two stringcourses above the lower of which is a two-light pointed arch window. The lights are trefoil headed with a quatrefoil above, also capped by a hoodmould. Above the second stringcourse there is blank arcading. There stepped coping leading to the apex which is surmounted with a decorative carved stone finial.
The south and north faces have three bays containing three large, modern squared windows. On the south side there is an original single storey projection to the left which is now obscured by a further modern harled extension with a plain window.
The west side is not accessible.
