It is one of the two churches for the Sula parish which is part of the Nordre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre.

In 1932, small prayer house was opened in Langevåg where church services were sometimes held.

By 1942, the roof was finished, enclosing the building, but then work stopped for a few years due to World War II.

A royal resolution was issued in January 1946 formally authorizing the church and the new parish of Sula.

The building is a brick long church with an asymmetrically placed tower on the south side.
