It is located in the village of Mæbø on the island of Flekkerøy in the city of Kristiansand.

It is the church for the Flekkerøy parish which is part of the Kristiansand domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

The white, concrete church was built in a rectangular design in 1960 using plans drawn up by the architect Gabriel Tallaksen.

In 2018, work began on a massive two-story addition designed by the two architecture firms Hille Melbye and Einar Dahle.

The addition added a large new sanctuary to the south of the existing church.
