The church was built in 1919 from granite quarried at nearby Misterhult. It originally served as a Baptist chapel, and it was only after a split within the Baptist congregation that the building was taken over by the Church of Sweden in 1941.
The church stands oriented north-south on a base of squared granite blocks, with red-painted facades trimmed in white and a black-painted metal roof. A freestanding timber bell tower, clad in wooden shingles, stands just a few metres to the north. Several windows, two on the south wall and four on the west, hold stained glass by the artist Britta Reich-Eriksson of Stockholm.
Parish rooms were added in 1963, and a more substantial remodelling followed in 1984–1985 under the direction of architect Rolf Bergh of Stockholm. The clear-lacquered wooden lectern (ambo) and font date from this 1985 refurbishment.
The church's small mechanical organ, with seven stops, was built in 1986 by Ålems Orgelverkstad. According to one source, the church also preserves an old wooden crucifix said to have once hung in the vestry of Göljhult's old church, described as the parish's oldest church building, reportedly dating from the 16th century; this claim has not been independently verified.
