The present church building dedicated on June 12, 1977 is in a hexagon shape with a moderate sized gathering space in the front of the building.  The gathering space contains a baptismal font and a large Easter Candle.  In the rear of the building is a small chapel dedicated to St. Paul.  Retreat Masses and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament take place in this quaint space.  Above the nave of the church in the center of the ceiling is a large skylight that is a window to the heavens. 

Around the nave of the church are several "chunk" stained glass windows.  These windows speak of the salvation events of Christ and his influence upon our lives.  When entering the nave, the first window on the left is the "Incarnation Window."  This window offers a winged angel with the Nativity/Epiphany star near him.  The "Chi-rho" (an ancient symbol for Christ) adorns the top right of the window.

The top left shows a lily representing the Annunciation of Christ to the Blessed Virgin Mary.  The next window on the left is the "Passion and Death Window."  The main symbol here is the winged ox, a symbol of sacrifice.  Below the head of the ox is a chalice and a pointed cross.  This is a symbol for the agony in the garden.  Above the ox is an unadorned cross, the spear of the soldier who pireced Christ's side, and the nails of the crucifixion.  With the spear is a lantern, the light by which the soldiers searched for Christ in the garden of Gethsemane. 

The window on the far right is the "Resurrection Window."  The main symbol is the winged lion.  Below the lion is a pomegranate bursting open.  It is a symbol of the power of the Lord bursting forth alive from the tomb on Easter Sunday.  Above the lion is the victory banner of the Resurrection event.  Beside the banner is a butterfly, symbolic of the resurrection because of the way the butterfly emerges from the cocoon. 

The second window to the right is the "Ascension and Pentecost Window."  The main symbol is the eagle, which is ready to soar to the very throne of heaven.  Above and below the eagle are the seven tongues of flame, symbolizing the gifts of the Spirit.  Above this is the dove, a symbol of the Holy Spirit.  In St. Paul's Chapel are two stained glass windows.  The red window depicts the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the blue window represents the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

In the gathering space are three large stained glass windows.  The window in the middle has a baptismal theme with the dove, water, and candle.  The window to the right depicts St. Paul, a travel companion of St. Barnabas.  The window to the left represents St. Barnabas, the patron of this church.  To his left is a ship symbolizing his journeys to spread the gospel.

The water element at the bottom of each window continues the baptismal theme.  The focal point of the church building is the sanctuary with the main altar, ambo, and presidential chair.  Above the sanctuary hangs an image of the resurrected/ascended Christ with his hands outstretched in blessing to the world.  To the right of the sanctuary in the nave is a large golden tabernacle which holds the Blessed Sacrament. 

In the rear of the nave next to the set of doors leading to the gathering space is a large icon of St. Barnabas from the monks of St. Meinrad.  The left of the nave contains a permanent digtial organ and newly refurbished baby grand piano.
