The church was inaugurated in 1903 and is the fifth church in Arvidsjaur. In the past, many of Arvidsjaur's churches were away at the roundabout at the E45, but as the ground was full of stones and surrounded by bogs, it was difficult to cultivate in the ground, which is why the current location for the new church was chosen. It was also closer to where the inhabitants lived due to the poor soil.
