It is one of the three churches for the Lindås parish which is part of the Nordhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

[1][2] Historically, the people living on the east side of the Lurefjorden had to cross the fjord to get to the Lygra Church.

In 1884, a cemetery was built at Hundvin so that parishioners could be buried closer to their homes, without having to transport a body across the fjord by boat.

Originally, it was an annex chapel within the Lindås Church parish.

In 1990, a bathroom and storage area was built to the north and south sides of the church porch.
