It is the church for the Bore parish which is part of the Jæren prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1891 using designs by the architect Hartvig Sverdrup Eckhoff.

[1][2] The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but the church was not new at that time.

It was likely built towards the end of the 12th-century as there is a preserved baptismal font from that time that is still in existence.

In 1895, a new church and cemetery was constructed about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) to the northeast.
