It is one of the four churches for the Knarvik parish which is part of the Nordhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The wooden church was built in a modern long church design in 2014 using plans drawn up by the architectural firm Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter. The church seats about 500 people.
Work on the church site began on 3 November 2012, and on 15 September 2013 the Bishop Halvor Nordhaug laid the foundation stone during a church service on the construction site. The church council budgeted 70 million kr for the church. The church was designed by the firm of Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter. The modern-style church was consecrated on 30 November 2014. The exterior of the building features the markedly rising roofs of the spire, church sanctuary, and chapel.[1][2][3]
