The church serves some 14.000 parishioners in Christians Parish and holds weekly sermons along with weddings, burials and baptisms.

The congregation in Christiansbjerg had for some years made do with a crypt, built during the Second World War, which had doubled as a temporary church.

A committee led by the bishop of the Diocese of Aarhus started raising funds for the new church but war and occupation delayed the project.

[3] Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs Bodil Koch made the project a priority and construction on the new church began in 1957.

The porch is low and leads into a large, tall church room which can seat 500 people.
