The idea of a church in Tumba dates back to the 1920s, when the distance to Botkyrka kyrka, then the parish's only church, prompted discussion of building a chapel closer to the growing settlement. The plans were delayed several times, including by the Second World War, and it was not until 1972 that a decision to build was finally taken. The architect Börje Wehlin designed the new church, which was consecrated on 9 December 1973 by the dean of Storkyrkoförsamlingen, Lars Carlzon.
Rather than a tower, the church has a freestanding bell frame with two bells cast at the Bergholtz foundry in Sigtuna, each carrying an inscription from Swedish hymnody and scripture. The building itself has no separate steeple; two west-facing wings, used for the parish's everyday work, are joined to the main hall and enclose a small courtyard. On the exterior of the chancel wall stands a gilded cross, beneath which twelve plain wooden figures represent the apostles.
Inside, the windows by Ingun Wistedt depict the Creation, filling the hall with coloured light. The altar wall features a distinctive "broken" cross by the sculptor Stefan Thorén, made up of scattered fragments through which light and shadow play. In the baptismal chapel, a wooden relief by Eva Spångberg illustrates the biblical words inviting children to come to Jesus.
The church's original 1973 organ, built by Jacoby Orgelverkstad of Stockholm, was replaced in 1988 by a mechanical organ from A. Magnussons Orgelbyggeri in Mölnlycke, which remains in use.
According to Swedish Wikipedia, the church was closed for rebuilding from September 2022 to March 2023 and reopened on Palm Sunday, 2 April 2023; after this work, the parish office and new spaces for diaconal, therapeutic and bereavement work were incorporated into the building, as also reflected in current parish information.
