Like most other churches in Finnmark, Ingøy church was burned down by the Germans during the evacuation of Finnmark in 1944. The new, white church was built in a long church style in 1957 using plans drawn up by the architect Eyvind Moestue. The church seats about 120 people. The altarpiece was rescued when the old church was burning, and it now hangs behind the altar in the church. The subject is Jesus and his disciples at the Sea of Galilee when Jesus calms the storm. The picture was painted by Christian Sinding Larsen in 1930.
