It is one of the churches for the Narbuvoll parish which is part of the Nord-Østerdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

[1][2] The people living in the southern part of the valley in Os had long desired a church near them.

A local man named Ingebret Mikkelsen Narbuvoll donated land for a church.

Christian Heinrich Grosch designed a stone church for the site and Knut Skancke was hired as the lead builder.

In the 1960s, the second floor seating gallery was removed which lowered the capacity to about 150 people.
