It is one of the churches for the Eidanger parish which is part of the Skien prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.
The grey, concrete church was built in a rectangular design in 1963 using plans drawn up by the architect Gudolf Blakstad.
On 23 January 1670, six men, representing the villagers, petitioned the King to have their own church (also around this time, Brevik was established as a ladested).
On 5 February, the county governor, Preben von Ahnen, endorsed their application.
It was called "Holy Trinity Church" (Norwegian: Hellig trefoldighets kirke).
The builder Joen Jacobsen from Skien was paid about 600 Norwegian rigsdaler for the work.
[3][4][5][6] The new church was designed by Johan Christoff Friedrich Reuter in a distinct neo-Gothic style.
Gudolf Blakstad and Herman Munthe-Kaas were hired to design the new church.
On the west end of the nave is a church porch with an organ gallery and bell tower above it.
