History
The church was built in 1995 by the architect Jostein Tveit. The original church was small (seating about 160 people) and it was meant to be an interim church that could be used while funds were raised and plans made for expanding the building to a full church. The interim church was consecrated on 12 February 1995 by the Bishop Ole D. Hagesæther. In 2006, the church addition was completed, vastly expanding the building. The present church is about 860 m2 and it can seat about 500 people. The new addition was consecrated on 3 September 2006.
