It is located in the eastern Halsen area of the town of Larvik.

It is the church for the Østre Halsen parish which is part of the Larvik prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg.

The white and red concrete church was built in a rectangular design in 1983 using plans drawn up by the architect Roar Tollnes.

In 1993, the second stage of construction took place, enlarging the building to make it a complete church.

The building now has room for a number of other activities besides just church services.
