The church was built in 1959 to designs by the engineer and architect Nils Johansson of Oskarshamn, and was consecrated on 12 December that year. It was originally run by the Berga Chapel Foundation, a local body set up to establish a place of worship in the village; when the foundation was dissolved in 1984, the building was handed over to Högsby parish.
The design reflects its mid-century origins and practical parish purpose. Alongside the main worship space, which seats around 100, the building houses rooms for children's activities, a parish hall, a meeting room and a kitchen, with further rooms for youth and confirmation work and a fellowship room in the basement. A sliding wall between the church hall and the parish hall allows the seating capacity to be doubled when needed, and the floor of the church hall is laid with limestone.
A freestanding bell tower stands on Dotemoberg (also recorded as Dotomeberg), the hill just north of the church, erected in 1950, slightly earlier than the church itself.
Among the church's fittings is an altar cabinet created in 1986 by the artist Eva Spångberg of Stockaryd together with the joiner Tore Engström of Berga, a relatively late but locally made addition to the interior. The church organ, built in 1982 by J. Künkels Orgelverkstad, is a mechanical instrument notable for having almost all its stops enclosed in a swell box.
