In 1923, a cemetery was built in Sømådal to serve the northwestern part of the municipality near the border with Rendalen, Tolga, and Os municipalities. In the mid-1930s, the parish began planning for a church at the site of the cemetery. Gustav Knutsen was hired as the lead builder. The new church was consecrated on 1 September 1937.[3]
