Description

The curved and inward sloping walls surrounding the church room are made of concrete, but the walls' irregular pattern of upward reaching LED-light strips catches the eye rather than the heavy material they are attached to. The altar area is dominated by a large figure of Christ with a curved concrete wall painted with blue transparent paint as backdrop. The room's other main material is oak used in the different kinds of furniture and the end grain wood block flooring.

The circular concrete belfry starts on the lower ground floor and goes through the church room where the central aisle passes through it. Facing the altar the belfry has twelve mosaics each representing one of the twelve apostles. They have a very simple iconography of symbols, which is also used in the altar area.
