The church was consecrated in 1983, making it one of the newer places of worship in the Skellefteå area. It belongs to Sankt Olov's parish within the Diocese of Luleå, part of the Church of Sweden.
A distinctive feature of Bergsbykyrkan is that it operates as a cooperation church, jointly run by the EFS mission society in Bergsbyn and the Church of Sweden parish. This shared arrangement reflects a pattern found in various Swedish communities, where different strands of Lutheran tradition worship and organise together under one roof.
Beyond its role as a shared place of worship, the church has become a natural gathering point for residents of Bergsbyn, a district that grew up somewhat apart from Skellefteå's historic centre. Its setting on a rock outside the town gives it a modest but memorable presence in the local landscape.
As a twentieth-century building, Bergsbykyrkan does not carry the layered medieval history found in many older Swedish churches, but its story as a cooperative venture between two church traditions is itself of interest to visitors curious about the varied religious life of the region.
