The Vilppula Church, designed by the architect Georg Schreck, was consecrated in 1900. The altarpiece is painted by Pekka Halonen and the church textiles are designed by Tellervo Strömmer.

The Vilppula Church, designed by architect Georg Schreck, was completed in 1900 and consecrated by Bishop Herman Rågbergh of the Diocese of Porvoo on 14 September 1900.

The church is an oblong log building with a sacristy at the east end and a bell tower at the west end. The windows are in the Gothic style. Inside, the church has three naves divided by a colonnade that supports the galleries. The columns have an angular body and at the top is the palm of victory, a symbol of eternal life. In the nave, the curved shapes of the ends of the benches give an Art Nouveau effect.

The altarpiece, The Saviour in a Palestinian Mountain Landscape (Vapahtaja palestiinalaisen vuoristomaiseman keskellä, 1914), was painted by the artist Pekka Halonen. The window in the envelope features a stained glass artwork Alpha and Omega. The church textiles were designed by the textile artist Tellervo Strömmer.

The church seats about 700 people. The west end of the church has a rose window, modelled on the medieval Gothic round window. The window frame forms a decorative central ornament, a rose pattern, and is partly the inspiration for the logo and seal of Mänttä-Vilppula parish.

The first 15-voice organ was inaugurated on 11 October 1914. The present organ, bought in 1981, has 21 stops. The organ was designed by the artist Asko Rautioaho and built by the organ building company Tuomi. The organ's facade was designed jointly by Asko Rautioaho and the architect Pentti Peltonen.
