It is the church for the Bruvik parish which is part of the Åsane prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1867 using plans drawn up by the architect Frederik Hannibal Stockfleth.

In 1668, the roof on the northern side of the building was replaced.

In 1813, the Garmann family sold the church to Svein Djødno.

Ole Vangberg was hired to build the church, and he used plans that were originally drawn up by Frederik Hannibal Stockfleth for Fusa Church.
