It is the church for the Randabygd parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

These demands were rejected repeatedly by the parish for a number of years.

The church was consecrated on 29 August 1916 by the Bishop Peter Hognestad.

It originally was an annex chapel in the Utvik Church parish.

Also that year, the church had electric heating installed and part of the basement was rebuilt as bathrooms.
