It is one of the three churches for the Gjesdal parish which is part of the Jæren prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger.

The white, concrete church was built in a rectangular style in 2002 using designs by the architect Olav Urstad.

It was designed by Gustav Helland and it was consecrated on 17 October 1926.

It was a wooden long church with an asymmetrically placed tower in the northeast.

By the 1990s, the chapel was too small for the congregation, so in 2002, the chapel was de-consecrated and sold and the present church was constructed about 750 metres (2,460 ft) to the west.
