History edit
In 1992, a cemetery with a bell tower was built in Jordet where the church now stands. Soon after, work began on planning for a church on the site. The architect was Anders Gunnestad from Hamar, and the building contractor was the firm Nymoen og Joten Bygg from Engerdal. The building was constructed in 2000, with the foundation stone being laid in the early spring and the church was consecrated on 26 November 2000, by the Bishop Rosemarie Köhn. The church construction cost 5.2 million kr, with the municipality paying about 70% of the cost and the rest being paid for with gifts and donations.[3]
