Dalvikskyrkan is a modern church in Jönköping, built in 1968 and consecrated the following year. Located just west of the city centre, it serves as the local district church for Jönköping parish and operates as a joint venture between the Church of Sweden and the EFS mission society.



The church was constructed in 1968 and consecrated on 8 February 1969, with an extension added in 1985. It is a relatively modern building reflecting the functional church architecture typical of the period, and its interior seats around 195 to 200 people.

The most striking feature of the interior is the artwork on the wall behind the altar: a six-metre-high figure of Christ, arms outstretched in an upward, symbolic gesture, formed from bricks of varying colours. The piece was created by the artist Yngve Nilsson of Osby, and remains the church's principal point of visual interest for visitors.

Beyond the main worship space, the building has traditionally included a hall with catering facilities, a confirmation room, and basement premises used for youth and hobby activities. A preschool run by the Church of Sweden, known as Kyrktuppens förskola, operates on the site.

In August 2020 a fire broke out in the basement kitchen, reportedly starting in a refrigerator relay, causing fire and smoke damage to the building. The fire was contained before spreading further, but reconstruction work took over two years, with the church reportedly reopening in September 2022; the adjoining preschool was able to resume activities shortly after the fire.
