The need for a district church emerged towards the end of the 1950s, as the surrounding suburbs of Gräshagen and Tokarp developed. The church that resulted was designed by county architect Gösta Planck and was consecrated by Bishop David Lindqvist on 1 December 1962.
Architecturally, the building is a relatively plain example of mid-twentieth-century parish church design, with a free-standing, whitewashed concrete bell tower standing beside the main church structure rather than attached to it.
Inside, the chancel has been dominated since 1991 by a large wall hanging entitled "Vägen inåt och uppåt" ("The way inward and upward"). It was designed by Marianne Nordström and woven by Kirstine Packalén, and was a gift to the church from the local sewing circle.
The church's organ history illustrates how instruments were sometimes moved between congregations during this period. An early organ built in the 1960s by the firm Åkerman & Lund of Knivsta was relocated to Ekhagskyrkan, also in Jönköping, in 1969. It was replaced the same year by a new mechanical organ from the same builder, which remains associated with the church.
