Designed by Inger and Johannes Exner, the almost cube-shaped building with a tall, free-standing bell tower was completed and consecrated in 1978.

Located in the Sædding neighbourhood northwest of Esbjerg's centre, the church is built entirely of red brick, with wave-shaped folds on the north and east walls.

Daylight enters from the top of the tall, folds in the walls and from the ceiling, supplemented by 803 electric bulbs which hang from high above.

The centrally-placed altar table, also made of white marble 28 cm (11 in) thick, stands on two short columns, each individually shaped as in Solomon's temple.

A cross designed by Bent Exner hangs above it, its 12 small globes symbolizing the apostles and its central gilded mirror, Jesus.
