The building was constructed in 1935 as a parish hall, with a large assembly room designed to double as a church space. It was consecrated on Judgement Sunday of that year by Bishop Edvard Magnus Rodhe, marking the formal beginning of its use as a place of worship alongside its community functions.
In 1965 a freestanding bell tower was erected to the north of the building, giving the otherwise modest hall a more recognisably ecclesiastical presence.
The church has a mechanical organ built in 1976 by Gunnar Carlsson of Borlänge, replacing whatever earlier musical provision existed. It is a small instrument, suited to the scale of the building.
As a converted parish hall rather than a purpose-built medieval or nineteenth-century church, Emmaljunga församlingshem is architecturally unassuming, its interest lying more in its role as a community and worship space than in grand design.
