Designed by Professor Aarno Ruusuvuori and built in 1964, this church represents 1960s modernist minimalist architecture. The church hall seats 350 people, and two parish halls seat 120 and 100. The pipe organ, built by the Kangasala Organ Factory, has 23 stops. The hall has a sound system with a mixer and an induction loop, and the parish halls have a piano. Services are held in Finnish and Arabic, and the diaconia runs a free community meal every week.
At the back of the church is a children's play area with soft mats, cushions, toys, books and drawing supplies. There are multipurpose club rooms, diaconia reception rooms and a serving kitchen with coffee and catering equipment. The building has two accessible parking spaces, an accessible entrance and an accessible men's toilet in the lobby. A hymnal printed in Braille is available from the caretaker. A defibrillator hangs in the lobby, and the building has camera surveillance. Weddings, baptisms and funerals are booked through the parish church offices, using the venue booking calendar.
