The Pohjois-Haaga church was dedicated in autumn 1963. People had to wait for the church, because the first houses had already been built in Pohjois-Haaga in 1951. Before the completion of the church, services were held in the club room of Pietari Hannikaisen Tie. The church and its associated facilities were designed by a local architect from Pohjois-Haaga, Eevi Aho. When the Hakavuori parish was founded in 1966, the name of the church was also changed.

The architecture of the church, the pulpit, font, and communion requisites designed by Eero Rislakki all repeat the pentagon shape which refers to the five wounds of Christ. The altar of the church houses a bronze sculpture by Harry Kivijärvi, Ristiinnaulittu (Crucified), from 1959. On the altar wall there is a bronze relief by Toivo Jaatinen entitled Vuorisaarna (Sermon of the Mount). The Jaatinen relief was donated by Vuorineuvos (Finnish honoray title), Kerppo Kankaanranta, for the 30th anniversary of the church, in memory of his wife. In the parish meeting hall, separated from the church with a folding wall, there is a brick relief by Pekka Kontio, Tyhjä hauta (Empty Tomb), from 1969.

In the vestibule of the church there is a collection box for missionary work, made by art teacher, Tuulikki Kivelä,. Next to it is written “Oshigambo”, which is one of the special missionary targets in Namibia.

The original church textiles, such as the altar cloth, antependium and mass cassock, were designed by Dora Jung. In 2007-2008, a series of textiles designed by textile artist, Professor Päikki Priha, was completed in different liturgical colours.

The organ, built by Urkurakentamo Veikko Virtanen in 1965, has 27 stops. The construction and façade of the instrument were designed by the first, long-standing cantor of the church, Asko Rautioaho.

The bell-tower of the church reaches up to thirty metres high. It has three bells,of which the smallest is set highest, and the largest lowest. Each of them reads, “Pohjois-Haagan kirkko” (Pohjois-Haaga Church). The smallest bell also reads, "Usko tulee kuulemisesta" (Faith arises from listening), the middle one, "Kuuleminen Jumalan sanasta" (Listening to God's word) and the largest one, "Seuraa minua" (Follow me). An image of the Crucifixionis cast below the last text. The bells were made at the Austrian bell foundry, Josef Pfunder, in Vienna in 1962.

The church building was enlarged with an additional wing in 1987. There is also a minimalistic chapel in association with the church, suitable for small-scale ceremonies. The altarpiece of the chapel, Jeesus siunaa lapsia (Jesus blessing children), painted in 1949, was donated to the church by the artist, Aimo Ronkanen, who lived in Pohjois-Haaga.

On 5 October 1962, the following text was carved on the foundation stone:

”Lokakuun viidentenä päivänä vuonna tuhatyhdeksänsataakuusikymmentäkaksi jälkeen Vapahtajamme Jeesuksen Kristuksen syntymän sinä aikana, jolloin Urho Kekkonen oli Suomen Tasavallan presidenttinä, Ahti Karjalainen pääministerinä ja Martti Simojoki Helsingin hiippakunnan piispana sekä Yrjö Winter Huopalahden seurakunnan ja Lasse Victorzon Luukkaan seurakunnan kirkkoherrana, muurattiin tämän Huopalahden seurakunnan ja Luukkaan seurakunnan Pohjois-Haagan seurakuntapiirin oman kirkon peruskivi Suomen peruskallioon.” (On the fifth of October in one thousand nine hundred and sixty-two years after the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, at the time when Urho Kekkonen was the President of the Republic of Finland, Ahti Karjalainen was the Prime Minister and Martti Simojoki the Bishop of the Helsinki Diocese, and Yrjö Winter the Vicar of the Huopalahti Parish and Lasse Victorzon the Vicar of Luukkaa parish, this foundation stone of the church of Huopalahti parish and the Pohjois-Haaga parish district of Luukkaa parish was laid in the bedrock of Finland.)

The Huopalahti Parish Council had appointed a planning committee on 30 October 1957 to have their own church in Pohjois-Haaga. The chair of the committee was Pastor P.E. Norri, and the other members were Sigurd Stenius, M.Sc., Arvo Aho, M.Sc.(Eng), A. Häivölä, Tramway Official, and Jalo Nikula, M.Sc. Econ. This committee acquired the plot for the church.

On 28 March 1958, the Huopalahti Parish Council appointed a building committee for the parish building, chaired by Professor O.A. Taivainen, Pastor P.E. Norri as Secretary, and other members, Sigurd Stenius, M.Sc., Otto Murtomaa, Civil Enginreer, and Jalo Nikula, M.Sc. Econ. On 1 June 1961, the committee called engineer, Pekka Leinonen, to act as Secretary during the construction period.

The building was designed by Eevi Aho, Architect, and it was built by Toivo Paasio, M.Sc. Techn.

Once the Huopalahti Parish Council and the joint parish council of the Evangelical-Lutheran parishes of Helsinki,the Ministry of Education and the Helsinki City Register Office had approved the drawings, construction work on the church plot could commence on 9 April 1962, Mikael Agricola Day.

The Hakavuori church is used by the Haaga parish.
