History edit
The original Undheim Church was built in 1921 in a long church style by the architect Halvorsen. That church was built of wood and it had about 260 seats. That church caught fire and burned down on 10 July 1998. Its replacement was completed in 2001. The new church lies slightly to the north of where the old one was located. The new church was consecrated on 9 December 2001.[2]
