The new church was consecrated in 1956 at Luntmakargatan in Vasastan.At the request of industrialist Samuel Owen of the Wesleyan Methodist society in England, pastor George Scott was sent to Stockholm in 1830.

The crowds grew, and generous donations from England and North America (Scott was able to raise over 2000 pounds in 1837) enabled the building of the Engelska kapellet ('English Chapel').

[5] The church was rectangular and 11 m (36 ft) high, on two floors, with a large gallery and gable facing Beridarebansgatan [sv], and could hold at least 1,100 people.

When it was learned that during a visit to North America he had portrayed the Swedes negatively, hostility was aroused, with attacks from newspapers and the clergy.

In 1856 the Fosterländska stiftelsen för Evangelii befrämjande (later the Swedish Evangelical Mission) was founded under the leadership of Elmblad, Gustaf Fredrik Liljencrantz [sv] and Carl Olof Rosenius.

A large group of cultural figures, architects and the Stockholm Beauty Council advocated the saving of the church and the adjoining Sergel House.

[12] The new church can seat approximately 400 people and has a pipe organ with 35 stops, three manuals and a positive, built by Starup & Søn, Copenhagen.
