They had to go all the way to the Svanøy Church, not only for ordinary worship services, but also for baptism ceremonies, weddings, and funerals.

At first the parish vicar was somewhat reluctant to have a new church building because this implied that he would have to travel more frequently.

In the first years, services were held five times a year, preferably in the winter. Nowadays services are held fourteen times a year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nordal church )〕
