It was built of limestone blocks taken from Hayfield wash on the Middle Verde River. Blocks ranged from 10 by 13 inches (0.25 m × 0.33 m) to 12 by 18 inches (0.30 m × 0.46 m) in size. It is 40 by 25 feet (12.2 m × 7.6 m) in plan. It has a high gable roof.[2]

The builders placed in the cornerstone of the building a bible and a $5 gold piece (which was chiseled away in the 1920s). It was Camp Verde's only church until 1913, when it was transformed into the city's one-room schoolhouse. In 1946, the church was abandoned. Later the Clear Creek Church was looked after by the Camp Verde Historical Society.
