Architecture
Designed in 1960-61 and completed in 1962, the building is the work of local architect Unto Ojonen, responsible for many buildings in Lahti from the 1950-60s.
The church design is characterised by its steeply-pitched roof — something of an Ojonen signature feature — and slim belfry. The building complex integrates a parish hall and staff quarters. The exterior materials include yellow brick and slate, under a copper roof. The building was comprehensively refurbished in 2005–2006, and a new remote-operated church organ installed in 2014.{{cite news |title=Lahtelaiskirkko saa harvinaiset etäsoitettavat urut |trans-title=Lahti church gets rare remote-operated organ |url=https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-7278199 |access-date=25 November 2020 |publisher=Yle |date=5 June 2014 |language=fi}}
Art
The altar piece, titled Golgata ('Calvary'), and exterior relief Kymmenen neitsyttä, were created by sculptor Pentti Papinaho in 1963.
The liturgical textiles were designed by Helena Vaari in 1990–1995.
