A house of prayer was established on this site in 1892. Later, in 1906 the building was converted into a chapel. On the night of 17 May 1994, the chapel burned down. The initiative to build a new church was led by chairman of the church board Per Ole Buxrud.
The architects Arne Åmland and Terje Høgenhaug designed the church, which is constructed of brick. On May 16, 1996, the current church was inaugurated by Bishop Sigurd Osberg. Visual artist Tor Lindrupsen created the "Tree of Life" altarpiece and stained glass with Old Testament symbols. Along the church wall behind the altar table, there are bricks with hollow spaces for lit candles when the church room is in use.
Åmot church gathers locals in everyday life, weekends and holidays. The church seats approx. 220 people. In addition, the church building houses a burial chapel, offices, various multi-purpose rooms and a church square with an associated outdoor amphitheater. As a church and cultural center, the church provides an active and varied program for children, young people and adults.
