Närhetens kyrka, Kil

The church forms part of an all-activities centre comprising several different functions, including a sports hall. The church, situated in the south-western part of the complex, was built in 1979 to designs by the architect Rolf Bergh. The church's entrance lies at the outermost point towards the street corner, inside the free-standing bell tower. Above the walls of red facade brick, each gable end featuring a large, round stained-glass window, rises a tall, gleaming aluminium roof with concave, steep roof slopes. The roof takes the form of a tent, a symbol drawn from the Old Testament and its tent church — the tabernacle. The walls of the church hall have exposed masonry surfaces of yellow-brown facade brick, and the ridge of the inner ceiling is borne by heavy laminated timber beams. On the long wall, opposite the altar, there is a wide opening into the church hall, which has somewhat smaller dimensions but the same orientation. This hall is connected to the parish's other premises. The altar wall is adorned with a room-height textile panel in grey tones by Ethel Halvarsson, with Jesus instituting the Last Supper as its main motif.
