It is an annex chapel for the Øre parish which is part of the Indre Nordmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre.

In 1916, the association was granted permission to build a graveyard next to the prayer house.

The parish priest was required to go to the prayer house twice a year to bury the dead and hold funerals.

An altarpiece was added in 1943 when the prayer house was upgraded to the status of annex chapel.

In 1978, the Osmarka Inner Mission Association disbanded and gave the building and graveyard to the municipality to take care of.
