It is one of the churches for the Vikøy parish which is part of the Hardanger og Voss prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

[1] Historically, the people of Norheimsund were part of the Vikøy Church parish, meaning the people of Norheimsund had to travel several kilometers to the church located in Vikøy.

In 1986, there was a groundbreaking ceremony and work began on the new church.

It was designed by the Bergen architect Peder Ristesund.

The church was consecrated on 4 June 1989 by the Bishop Per Lønning.
