01History
The church was built in 1921 as a Baptist church called Elim bedehus. It was used as a prayer house by the Baptist congregation from 1921 until 1928. After that, it was used for a variety of purposes. During the 1950s, it was purchased by the local Church of Norway parish. From 1958-1959, the building was renovated by Ola Mjøen using plans drawn up by the architect John Egil Tverdahl. The building was consecrated as a chapel on 13 September 1959 and it later became designated as a parish church.
