The building is open for services on Sundays, while the church office is staffed on select weekdays for inquiries. It is helpful to check ahead about visiting times, as access may vary depending on the day.
The church draws ongoing attention for its blend of modern architectural vision with traditional craftsmanship from the interwar period. This balance between innovation and tradition makes the building particularly interesting to those who study architecture.
