History

The new parish of Slettebakken was established in 1959. During the 1960s, planning began for a new church for this parish. An architectural competition was held to find the architect for the church. It was won by Tore Sveram. The church was designed with a modern look and a unique, curved roof line that would make the church a landmark within the city. The foundation stone was laid in 1968 and it was consecrated on 20 December 1970. An organ from the J. H. Jørgensen Organ Company with 16 voices was installed in the church. [3] [4] [5]
