Lerbergets kyrka

The church was built to serve the expanding district of Östra Lerberget, planned in the 1970s as a new local centre with shops, a library and other services. Local church authorities decided in 1978 to build a small church here, though the diocesan chapter initially felt the parish already had enough churches. The scheme went ahead once it was proposed as a shared building for the Church of Sweden and EFS (Evangeliska Fosterlandsstiftelsen), an independent revivalist mission body that has remained within the Church of Sweden since the 19th century. EFS had previously run its activities from an older mission house in the village; the sale of that building helped fund the new church's organ, bell tower and bell.

Construction began in March 1982, during a period of economic slowdown that reportedly kept building costs low, and the church was consecrated on the second Sunday of Advent that year by Bishop Per-Olov Ahrén. It was designed by the Danish-born, Helsingborg-based architect Henrik Jais Nielsen and built in red brick as part of a long, linked complex of building sections; an extension for children's and youth work, known as Oasen, was added in 1995.

Inside, visitors can see a range of contemporary artworks. A bronze sculpture by Jonas Högström, depicting a girl holding a lamb and titled to suggest a theme of loss and return, stands near the entrance to the church hall; the sculptor's own daughter is said to have modelled for the figure. Behind the pulpit hangs a tapestry showing the sun and moon, designed by textile artist Barbro Nilsson, who came from Lerberget, and woven in Båstad. A wooden relief by carver Eva Spångberg depicts the biblical meeting of Jesus and Zacchaeus, while another relief near the font is by Åke Röjgård.

Other notable items include a ship model of the brig Pepita of Lerberget, made by local model-builder Kurt Sandgren, and a set of ceramic reliefs in the parish hall by Stig Carlsson depicting stages of Christ's path to the cross. The church's bronze bell was cast in Ystad in 1982 and carries a biblical inscription. The organ, built the same year, is a modest instrument with seven stops across two manuals and pedal — sources differ slightly on its manufacturer, but agree it was installed when the church opened.
