The church was designed by the architect Rudolf Hall and completed in 1964, replacing older arrangements for worship in the growing settlement. It was consecrated on 29 August that year by Bishop David Lindquist of Växjö diocese, within which the parish still lies.
The building's furnishings show a unified design approach, as the pulpit, altar rail and pews were all made to Hall's own drawings, giving the interior a coherent mid-century character rather than a mix of older salvaged fittings. The font and altar are of reddish limestone quarried on the island of Öland, a material long favoured in Swedish church building for its warm colour and durability.
Musically, the church is notable for having two organs. The main organ was built in 1964 by A. Mårtensson's Orgelfabrik of Lund, a mechanical instrument that was the church's first, installed as part of the original construction. A separate, smaller mechanical chancel organ was added in 1977 by Västbo Orgelbyggeri of Långaryd, allowing more flexibility for different services and musical settings.
Visitors seeking older architecture may prefer the nearby Villstad kyrka, some five kilometres to the north, which predates this church and is described as the parish's historic building, in contrast to the more modern church in the town centre itself.
