The church was constructed between 1958 and 1960 to designs by the Norwegian architects Bernt and Eva Mejlænder. Local people had campaigned for nearly forty years to secure a church of their own in Sandared, since the journey to the existing parish church was considered too long. The building plot was donated by a brother and sister from the congregation, and many of the church's fittings were likewise gifts from parishioners.
The building is a traditional long church with modernist touches, joined at an angle to the adjoining parish hall, from which it is separated by a folding wall. Its roof is notably steep and high, covered outside in slate, while inside the laminated timber roof arches are lined with plastic panels manufactured locally under the Stigolon brand, produced in eight different pastel shades. Low windows along the south wall and dormers on the north roof slope bring light into the church hall. The interior fittings are made of lime-blasted oak, and the altar stands within a curved recess.
A striking free-standing bell tower, built largely of iron, holds two bells and is one of the church's more unusual features.
The organ, positioned on the north gallery, was built in 1964 by A. Magnusson Orgelbyggeri AB. It has thirteen stops across two manuals and pedal, with a sounding facade.
