"The church in the middle of the village". Hässelby Strands kyrka was inaugurated in 1970. When the church bells rang for the eve of the Sabbath, Saturday 19 December 1970, ahead of the 4th Sunday of Advent, Hässelby Strands kyrka and the parish house were inaugurated by Bishop Helge Ljungberg. From the bishop's address: "Joy, thanksgiving, praise must characterise what is to happen and take effect within these walls…" The transformation of Hässelby Strands centrum has begun. Currently, over 200 new flats are being built, to be gathered around a new modern square with the church at its centre.

When the church bells rang for the eve of the Sabbath on Saturday 19 December 1970, Hässelby Strands kyrka and the parish house were inaugurated by Bishop Helge Ljungberg. From the bishop's address: "Joy, thanksgiving, praise must characterise what is to happen and take effect within these walls". Varde ljus ("Let there be light") is the name of the 35 silver-gleaming reliefs in aluminium by the sculptor Bertil Berggren Askenström (1986), covering 40 square metres of the chancel wall. The composition also includes a play of light from hidden, differently coloured spotlights.
