The church was built on designs by the architect Emil Jørgensen in the National Romantic style.

The church was built on the initiative of the Association of Effata, the Workers' Home for Deaf-Dumb Women and the Deaf Society of 1866.

In 2000, the congregations celebrated their 100th anniversary and, for the first time, published a translation of Hebrew and Greek texts from the Bible into Danish sign language.

On February 3, 2013, the Sign language Bible was inaugurated during a service attended by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
