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

The large, white, concrete church was built in a rectangular design in 1981 using plans drawn up by the architectural firm Lund + Slaatto Arkitekter from Oslo.

[1][2] Efforts to get a church built in Eidsvåg began in 1942, but it was a long time until this work came to fruition.

In 1969, there was an architectural competition to design the new church and the firm Lund + Slaatto Arkitekter from Oslo won.

Work did not begin right away due to the finances involved with the merger of several municipalities with Bergen.
