The church was constructed as a mixture of both modern and Gothic-styles. It has a unique spiral stairway (instead of stairs) that features an accompanying spiraling mural which begins with the biblical story of creation in Genesis at the base of the walkway, including the life events of Jesus, His Passion and ending with illustrations from the Acts of the Apostles.
At the foot of the mural walk is placed a replica of Michelangelo's Pietà, made of the same size and material, built by Franco & Cervietti.[3]
The church's organ was custom-made by the Karl Schuke works in Berlin, with 65 stops and 5,124 pipes.[4]
St. John's was one of the churches which hosted the Sistine Choir on its first visit to South Korea in 2017.[5]
