It is one of the churches for the Horten parish which is part of the Nord-Jarlsberg prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg.

If the church had transepts in front of the choir, we would have called it a three-nave basilica.

The tower can be said to consist of two parts, of which the lower one is the strongest and is supported by buttresses.

Originally there were 950 seats, but this has since been reduced to around 750 due to modern fire codes.

If standing places are used, however, probably a thousand people walk through the doors on special occasions.
