It is the church for the Innset parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The church was built in a cruciform style in 2000 using plans drawn up by the architect Kjell Kvernaas.

The old church burned down in 1995 in an alleged act of arson that was connected with the Norwegian black metal underground.

[4] After the fire and ensuing demolition and clearing of the site, work began on a new church.

Kjell Kvernaas was hired to design the new church in the same Baroque, cruciform style as the old building.
