Jordbro kyrka is a twentieth-century parish church serving Österhaninge parish in Jordbro, near Stockholm. Built as a modern place of worship, it also functions as a community meeting place, with fellowship and activities intended for people of all ages.



The church was built to designs by the Cederwallgruppen architectural practice and was inaugurated in September 1971. Its construction is notably modern: a concrete frame with exterior walls clad in vertical wooden panelling, and a sloping pulpit roof covered in brown-black tiles running from north to south. A narrow band of windows encircles the building, with those on the north facade set higher than elsewhere. The interior is oriented north to south, with the chancel at the southern end.

A free-standing bell tower, added in 1976, is one of the church's more distinctive features. Its unusual construction consists of three posts converging to a point at the top, with a small housing suspended between them to hold the church bell.

Inside, the altarpiece is carved in oak by the artist Rolf Lilja and was consecrated in 1980. A matching altar table, designed by Lilja to complement the altarpiece, was donated to the church by the artist the following year, in 1981. The font, made of pine, rests on four legs supporting a glass baptismal bowl.

The church's original mechanical organ, built in 1971 by the German firm Emil Hammer Orgelbau of Hannover, was relocated in 2010 to a music school in Stockholm and replaced with a digital organ.
