The church was constructed in 1976 to designs by architect Stefan Alenius. Rather than a freestanding building, it forms part of a wider complex in which the church hall and parish rooms are arranged around an internal courtyard, giving the site a communal, campus-like feel appropriate to its setting near the university.
The building has a timber frame and is clad externally in red-painted sheet metal, giving it a distinctive, understated appearance compared with more traditional Swedish church architecture. Inside, the worship space is notably tall, lined with timber panelling that gives the room a warm tone and a long reverberation time, making it a setting well suited to music.
Instead of a conventional altarpiece, the space above the altar holds an artwork known as Pärlan ("The Pearl"). Its central pearl motif is only visible on close approach, a detail said to symbolise the idea that one cannot truly see Christ from a distance — only by drawing near, even though he is understood to be present regardless.
According to descriptions associated with the church, it has been used as a space intended for both fellowship and quiet reflection, hosting activities such as Sunday school, choir work, Christian contemplative meditation groups, and themed services, including musical services and Celtic-style masses. These descriptions reflect how the church has portrayed its own community role rather than confirmed historical fact.
