The first news of the existence of a church in Fahretoft dates back to the 14th century, the first official evidence was in 1462. At that time, Fahretoft was still an undyed hallig.

The first clergyman known by name was in 1586.

The original church in Fahretoft was destroyed by fire in 1635 and the new building in 1668 was also damaged by fire.

The church as we see it today was built in 1703, with the benevolent support of the Dukes of Gottorf. The guardian - the Bishop of Lübeck - had the building completed. A stone plaque in the church commemorates this.

The church is surrounded by the Fahretoft cemetery.

The church received the entrance porch in 1855 and the church was painted white inside.

The former bell tower was covered with wood paneling.

A colorful "Good Shepherd" window was donated in 1909 by the Hansen family from Chicago. The window "The Prodigal Son" was also donated by emigrants in 1950. The bell dates from 1926, as the previous bells had broken.

The bell tower was renewed in 1983.

According to legend, the patron saint was tortured to death on a red-hot grate. The modern lectern symbolizes this act. The altar candlesticks bear the year 1675, the chalice is dated 1600. The collection bags date from 1704.
