The church was originally known as Bymarkens församlingshem (Bymarken parish hall) before taking on its present name in 1935 or 1963, according to differing accounts. Pauli's design work was assisted by Johan Snygg. The building has since been extended and altered twice, in 1973 and 1997, with the later works including the installation of a lift.
Several furnishings date from the church's early years. The wooden font was made in 1936 at Rydells snickerifabrik in Ölmstad, and holds a pewter christening bowl produced the same year by the engraving firm Borg in Jönköping. The chancel window came from the Stockholm firm N. P. Ringström AB, also in 1936. The altar and pulpit, however, are later additions, created in 1973 by the interior architect Gemfeldt.
Outside, the church grounds include a lawn, a summer meadow and a small stand of trees. A freestanding bell tower, built in 1935, houses a bell cast that same year at a foundry in Ystad, though sources differ slightly on whether this was Olssons klockgjuteri or the M & O Ohlsson foundry. Immediately to the east of the church stands the former Bymarken vicarage, built in 1932.
The church organ has its own history of change: a mechanical instrument was built in 1956 by Åkerman & Lund of Knivsta, and a seven-stop organ followed in 1983 from the workshop of Robert Gustavsson in Härnösand.
