It is one of the churches for the Ranheim og Charlottenlund parish which is part of the Strinda prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The white, stone church was built in a cruciform style using plans drawn up by the architect Roar Tønseth (1895-1985).

[2][3] The first chapel in Ranheim was a wooden long church built in 1898 using designs by the architect Karl Norum.

Some of the altar equipment, the priestly garments, and some of the furniture from the sacristy were able to be saved.

A new church was built in 1933 that was consecrated on 20 April 1933 by the Bishop Johan Nicolai Støren.
