Teleborgs kyrka serves the Teleborg district of Växjö, a suburb that grew rapidly in the early 1970s. Built to meet the needs of this expanding community, the church remains an active parish building within Växjö's city and cathedral congregation.
The church was built in 1973–74 to serve the newly developed Teleborg suburb, and was consecrated the Saturday before Advent that year by Bishop Sven Lindegård. It was designed by architect Bent Jörgen Jörgensen in a modernist style that nonetheless nods to medieval church tradition, with white walls and a steep roof recalling older ecclesiastical forms.
The building consists of a nave and a rectangular chancel to the east, with a sacristy attached to the south side of the chancel and the main entrance to the west. A freestanding bell tower stands to the west of the church, its roof echoing the crossed gable design of traditional Swedish bell-stapel structures.
Inside, the church is notable for its open pew arrangement, rows of pillars along the side aisles, and a low timber ceiling set beneath the open roof trusses, giving the interior a distinctive sense of space. Fittings include a freestanding altar with a diabase slab, an altar ornament formed from a glass cross made of glass prisms produced at the Gullaskruf glassworks, movable kneelers used in place of an altar rail, a processional crucifix, and a font with an accompanying wall hanging.
A significant enlargement took place in 2003–2004, when the church and adjoining parish hall were joined together, connected by an enclosed church square. The building's original 1976 mechanical organ, built by Nils-Olof Berg, was later replaced by an instrument from Thür, with a new organ front designed by Gunvor Westelius.
