Bishop Jaakko Gummerus consecrated Viinikka church in May 1932. He referred to the church as an everyday church, since it was the first church building in Finland to house the actual church with a parsonage and meeting rooms for young people.
Although the style of Viinikka church refers to the classicism of the 1920's, it has certain functionalist features. The oblong single-nave church adorned with a beautiful sleek spire rises magnificently among the residential buildings surrounding it.
