It is the church for the Bråstad parish which is part of the Toten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

In 1694, a new sacristy was constructed on the north side of the chancel.

In the early 1800s, the parish decided to close down the Bråstad Church and the Old Hunn Church and to replace both of them with a new Gjøvik Church which would be built a short distance away in a new location inside the borders of the growing town.

Land was donated by Sverre Braastad for the purposes of building a chapel and graveyard.

The new Bråstad Chapel (as it was originally titled) was consecrated on 29 December 1963 by Bishop Kristian Schjelderup.
