It is the church for the Berg parish which is part of the Strinda prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The red, brick church was built in a long church style in 1972 using plans drawn up by the architects Tycho Castberg, Nils Lien, and Sverre Risan.

The initiator and first leader was the rector Tycho Castberg, who according to the congregation also drew a draft for the church building.

After the money was raised, the architecture firm of Lien & Risan was hired.

The church was consecrated on 19 March 1972 by the Bishop Tord Godal.
