History edit
Originally, the building was constructed in 1976 and it was a prayer house run by various associations. In 2005, it was taken over by the Fjære parish of the Church of Norway and it has been used as a chapel (Norwegian: bedehuskapell) since that time.[2] The church is quite small for the local congregation and the parish is in the planning and fundraising process to build a new, larger church for Fevik and to separate it from Fjære to form its own parish.[3][4]
