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.

[5][7] In 1852, most of the exterior of the church was clad in wooden siding to give the part-stone and part-wood building a more uniform appearance.

In 1920–1921, the church was renovated to bring back some of the historic look of the old building using plans by Domenico Erdmann.

In the 1970s, the wooden siding on the exterior stone walls was removed, and the bell tower was restored to its original appearance from 1787.

In 1991, Terje Grøstad made a new altarpiece and pulpit as well as stained glass windows, a crucifix, and a processional cross for the church.
