It is the church for the Hof Finnskog parish which is part of the Solør, Vinger og Odal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

[1][2] In 1877, an old school building was consecrated as a chapel to serve the Finnskogen area in the Hof Church parish.

After World War II was over, plans were made to build a larger church in Dulpetorpet.

The National Architect (Norwegian: Riksarkitekten) provided designs for the building and it was to be a wooden long church.

Some of the interior furnishings including the pulpit were transferred to the new building from the medieval Hof Church.
