Mariakyrkan: In the yellow brick building at Marieberg you will find a bright church hall along with several rooms for music, creative activities and various gatherings. The church has many committed volunteers.

Textile artist Margit Westin designed the altar textile "Strålen av ett himmelskt hopp" ("The Ray of a Heavenly Hope"). Above the entrance to the church hall hangs a diptych by Per Enoksson, commissioned in connection with the Capital of Culture year 2014.

The parish includes the residential areas of the Marie districts, Nydalahöjd and the village of Anumark.

Mariehemskyrkan was built in 1972 but soon became too small, and planning began for a new church at Mariebergs centrum. It was named Mariakyrkan and was consecrated in 1982. The architect was Bertil Håkansson.

The new organ was inaugurated in 2015.
