History of the Church Building
How the Church Was Built
The Immanuel Church Congregation built this church. They finished construction in 1956. This congregation was part of the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden at first. Later, they joined the Uniting Church in Sweden.
Changes Over Time
The Immanuel Church Congregation used this building until February 2023. At that time, the congregation stopped existing. Before this building, the congregation had another church. That older church was on Gamla Rådstugugatan and opened on December 28, 1884.
In 2020, the ownership of the building changed. The Norrköping Vineyard and Korskyrkan groups took over. They now use the building for their services and activities.
Who Uses the Church Today?
Today, the Kyrkan vid Vasaparken is home to two active church groups.
Norrköping Vineyard
This group is part of a larger network called Vineyard Nordic. They focus on worship, community, and helping others.
Korskyrkan
This group is also known as Baptistförsamlingen Saron-Korskyrkan. They are connected to the Evangelical Free Church in Sweden. Korskyrkan also holds regular services and community events in the building.
