It is one of the churches for the Gran/Tingelstad parish which is part of the Hadeland og Land prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and Wilhelm von Hanno were hired to design the new building and the masonry was to be done by the mason Herman Frang.

On 5 July 1865 the foundation stone of the church was laid by the local mayor, Amund Larsen Gulden.

On 5 December 1866 the finished church was consecrated by parish priest Søren Brun Bugge on behalf of the bishop.

The pulpit was transferred from the old Grindaker stave church and was the work of carved by sculptor Nicolai Larsen Borg (1673-1764).
