Åkersberga kyrka was completed in 1980, the second stage of a building programme that began in 1971 with the construction of the Åkersberga Church Centre, which contained a parish office, workspaces and a parish hall. The church itself was designed by the architect Lars Olof Torstensson.
The whole complex, inside and out, is built of yellow brick. The church forms the tallest part of the building group and has a square plan; its roof rises at an angle towards the south-west corner, which is crowned with a cross and a large window. Inside, the ceiling has exposed roof trusses, giving the worship space a distinctive, ship-like quality, as though the roofline were the bow of a vessel cutting upward.
Behind the altar is a mosaic by the artist Marika Jovinge Cropper. To the south of the church stands a separate rectangular bell tower with a clock face.
The organ, built in 1955 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri in Gammelstad, was originally installed elsewhere: it was moved here from Lidingö church in 1984. It is a mechanical instrument of seventeen stops.
Beyond the worship space, the wider Church Centre building contains a parish hall seating around 150 people, meeting and conference rooms, spaces for children's and youth work, and offices, reflecting the way the complex was conceived as a practical hub for parish life as well as a place of worship.
