The church stands on a square within Ljungdala Center, a location chosen to place it at the heart of the surrounding neighbourhood rather than in isolation. The decision to build it was taken by the parish council in March 1978, and the finished building, which combines the church hall with parish rooms under one roof, cost around 2.8 million kronor to complete.
The design is notably functional: the interior has no thresholds, and the main worship space, known as Maria, can have its furnishings moved to allow the room to be used flexibly for different purposes. A freestanding bell tower stands apart from the main building, a feature typical of many Swedish churches built in this period.
The altarpiece and processional cross were created by the artist Stig Carlsson of Nyhamnsläge, while the church textiles were designed by Inger Björklund and Inga-Britt Jeppsson. Together these furnishings give the plain modern building a distinctive character suited to its late twentieth-century construction.
The organ, built in 1984 by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund, is a mechanical instrument with a newer facade, reflecting the church's continued investment in its worship space after the original construction.
