It is one of the two churches for the Forsand parish which is part of the Sandnes prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1854 by the builder Tollak Tollaksen Gudmestad using plans drawn up by the architect Hans Linstow.

The church was consecrated on 10 October 1854 by the Bishop Jacob von der Lippe.

In 1963, the choir was expanded, the pulpit was lowered, and the floor was raised and insulated.

On 19 June 2016, a large triangular addition to the church was completed on the south side of the church, adding bathrooms, small group rooms, a chapel, and a kitchen.
