Gulset grew up as a suburb to the town of Skien and it was part of Gjerpen municipality until 1964 when it was merged with Skien. Soon after, work began towards getting a church built in Gulset. In 1975, land was acquired by the parish and the planning began for designing the new church by the architects Harald Hille and Reidar Aasen. The plan was to complete the new building around the year 1980. This was delayed, however, and the church construction was postponed. The church was built in two building stages, the first stage was completed and consecrated in 1986 and it included a parish hall, meeting rooms, club rooms, kitchen, cloakrooms, and bathrooms. The construction cost about 4 million kr. Since there was no nave and chancel yet, the parish hall was temporarily used for worship services. The second construction phase was completed in 2009 and it included the nave and chancel, parish offices, and nursery school. The architect for this stage was Reidar Aasen from the firm Børve Borchsenius. Construction costs for this stage totaled about 55 million kr. The building was re-consecrated on 22 March 2009. [3] [4]
