It is one of the two churches for the "Bjordal og Ortnevik" parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

History.
The chapel was built and consecrated in 1925, ending a period of hundreds of years where the parishioners had to cross the Sognefjorden by boat to get to their church (Kyrkjebø Church). It had the status of a chapel until 1 January 1997 when it was upgraded to a church. At the same time the new parish of "Bjordal og Ortnevik" was created with Ortnevik Church and Bjordal Church being the two parish churches. This meant that all the people in Høyanger on the south side of the fjord now had their own parish.
