Skäggetorp developed as a new residential area of Linköping from 1965 onwards, and the church followed a decade later, consecrated in 1975 to serve the growing community. It stands close to the district's shopping centre, with a freestanding bell tower holding two bells positioned beside the entrance.
The building was designed by the architect Kai Bro Sörensen, whose scheme is notable for its sloping roofline, giving the church a strikingly modern silhouette compared with Sweden's older parish churches. The building also houses parish meeting rooms alongside the worship space.
Inside, the furnishings reflect the church's 1970s origins. The font is carved from stained wood and fitted with a glass basin, while the altarpiece is a ceramic relief created in 1978 by Lis Löfed-Sjöholm, adding a distinctive handcrafted focal point to the otherwise contemporary interior.
The church's mechanical organ, built in 1978 by Åkerman & Lund Orgelbyggeri and inaugurated in January 1979, was the first organ installed in the building. It has been recorded commercially, reflecting some regional musical interest in the instrument.
