It is the church for the Dalsbygda parish which is part of the Nord-Østerdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

The cemetery was fenced, a chapel erected, and a bell installed at the new site and it was all consecrated on 17 October 1910.

In 1951, the prestegjeld of Tolga hired a full time priest to work in Os.

The new priest began to hold services in Dalsbygda at the small chapel and discussions ensued about whether or not to build a church there.

Drawings for a new wooden long church were prepared by Jens Ormhaug, and the construction manager was Melkor Henningsmo.
