It is the church for the Arnadal parish which is part of the Sandefjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg.

A new building was constructed in 1881–1882 on a site about 50 metres (160 ft) to the east.

The church has a bell tower on the west end of the nave which is drawn somewhat into the body of the building, and a straight-ended choir that is surrounded by vestries (which were extended in 1979 and 1981).

An addition was built to the north of the nave which includes several other rooms.

The church was extensively restored in the 1950s according to plans by Einar Rivå and rededicated in the autumn of 1956.
