Until 1858, the people of Fröjered worshipped in an earlier medieval church that stood in the parsonage park by the river Tidan, west of the rectory. As the population grew, that building became too small, and once the present church was completed the old one was demolished; a cross was later erected on its former site, apparently continuing its use as a place of prayer.
The new church, designed by A. R. Pettersson and consecrated in 1858, consists of a single nave with a tall west tower topped by a lantern and spire. It has seating for around 150 people. The nave's simple hall-church form is sometimes read as symbolic of a saving ark.
Several furnishings were rescued from the old church. An altarpiece of carved wood panels depicting the Crucifixion, given to the church in 1707 by Catharina Hård, now hangs on a long wall rather than behind the altar itself. Fragments of the old church's gallery front, painted with images of the evangelists, and its elaborately carved pulpit — decorated with figures including Christ and the evangelists — were also retained, meaning the church today has two pulpits to compare, old and new. A medieval sanctus bell from the earlier building, once rung at the moment of consecration in the Mass, is kept near the chancel.
The altar itself is dominated by a 1907 painting of the Ascension by the Swedish-American artist Birger Sandzén, an internationally recognised name whose work is otherwise more associated with the United States than rural Västergötland.
Two bells hang in the tower. The larger, known as Storklockan, was cast or recast in 1682 and carries an inscription dedicating it to God's glory and the church's adornment; the smaller bell dates from 1894. On the west gallery stands an organ of eight stops built in 1861 by Johan Nikolaus Söderling, largely unaltered since a 1990s restoration, while a further eight-stop organ was installed in the chancel in 1985.
