It is located in the village of Veavågen on the western coast of the island of Karmøy. It is the church for the Vedavågen parish which is part of the Karmøy prosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger. The concrete church was built in a long church style in 2009 using designs by the architectural firm: Brandsberg Dahls-Arkitekter. The church seats about 280 people.[1][2]
