It is located in the village of Langevåg on the southern tip of the island of Bømlo.

It is the main church for the Bømlo parish which is part of the Sunnhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

[1][2] The Old Bømlo Church served the area for centuries and eventually it was deemed to be too small for the parish.

The new church has a rectangular nave with a somewhat narrower chancel to the south.

The northern part of the nave contains an entrance hall with cloakroom, toilets, and stairs to the organ gallery on the second floor.
