The church and the village of Grünz are mentioned for the first time in 1289. In 1685, after the hard times of the Thirty Years' War, Jakob Rudo donated a tin baptismal font that is still in use today. In 1793 a pulpit altar was erected in the church, which was destroyed in the fire of 1888. In 1854 a major renovation of the church took place, during which the church windows were greatly enlarged. The church was laid out with bricks.

The first organ is bought after acceptance by Carl Löwe (Stettin) for 600 talers. 1888 on May 4th. At 12.30 p.m. a lightning strike sets the church tower on fire, destroying the entire church with altar, organ and bells. In 1890 the church with the tower was rebuilt within half a year. The sanctuary is built as an apse and closes off the church in the east with the stepped gable. An organ is built by the organ building company Grüneberg (Stettin). It was destroyed in 1945.

In 1977, after 7 years of non-use of the church due to mold infestation, a major interior renovation was tackled: the ceiling and pews were cleaned of mold (the central bank block was set up), the church and community room were painted and the altar cross was erected. During demolition work on the altar, the usher Werner Bartz found a box with coins from different centuries, a construction report on the reconstruction from 1888 and a damaged chalice from 1727, donated by Erdmann Richert.

1989 General repair of the church tower with copper covering (gift from the partner community) and 700th anniversary of the church and village.
