Bomhus kyrka is a wooden church standing beside its own churchyard in the Bomhus district of eastern Gävle, part of Gävle parish. It occupies a raised site around six kilometres from the city centre and can seat some 300 people.



The church was built in 1906 to designs by the architect Erik Alfred Hedin and was consecrated in 1907. It is constructed of timber, with exterior walls clad in wooden shingles, and consists of a nave with a straight-ended chancel to the east and an entrance to the west. A slightly angled tower rises at the north-western corner of the building.

A restoration carried out in 1954–1955 altered the church's layout: a porch was added at the western gable, becoming the main entrance, whereas previously the principal door had been on the north side.

Among the church's furnishings is an altarpiece by the sculptor Tor Hörlin, created during the 1954–1955 restoration and depicting a scene described as "God's green meadows". The church bells were cast in 1906 by the Bergholtz bell foundry, and the organ, with twelve stops, was built in 1957–1958 by the Moberg brothers of Sandviken.
