It is the church for the Helle parish which is part of the Bamble prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

[1][2] Around 1980, John Strand donated land for a chapel in Helle.

It was set up as an annex chapel under the Sannidal Church parish.

The second stage of construction, enlarged the building by adding a church hall, kitchen, and other meeting rooms.

This project was completed in 1994, with the formal re-consecration of the chapel in December 1994.
