Planning for a new church in Kapp began during the 1930s. Henry Bucher was hired to design the new church. Construction began in the spring of 1937, led by carpenter Karl Johnsen Kjæsarud. Johan Mortensen performed the plumbing work, Asbjørn Moe did painting work, and Per Johnsen was responsible for electrical installations. The new building was consecrated on 14 May 1939. The church has a rectangular nave and a narrower chancel surrounded by sacristies to the north and south. There is a tower on the roof at the west end of the nave. Originally, it was an annex chapel and more recently it was upgraded to become a parish church.[3][4]
