==History== As the town of [[Hamar]] grew, the need for a new church in the town became apparent. In 1971, land in a residential area in the west part of the town was acquired for a new church. The church was designed by [[Willy Sveen]]. The church was constructed out of concrete blocks during 1974–1975. It was [[consecrated]] on 5 October 1975.<ref name="NK">{{Cite web |title=Storhamar kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/hedmark/storhamar-kirke/ |access-date=2022-01-05 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}</ref>
