Behind the pulpit, detached from the whole of the interior, is the parish office and a congregation hall. Much of the credit for covering the expenses of constructing the church from loans and donations goes to Reverend Mihály Kovács. Besides contributions made by the congregation of Outer Kelenföld, significant donations arrived from Holland, Switzerland and Venezuela. The electric organ was sent from the Netherlands.

The church was consecrated by Bishop Dr. Károly Tóth on 20 September 1981. The belfry outside the entrance, made of bent metal pillars, was designed by Zsuzsa Bartha; the bell inside the structure is sounded by an electromagnetic mechanism.

A parsonage was built next to the church in 1996 to plans by Jenő Bálint. The costs of this construction were in part covered by the local authority of District XI.
