Hirtshals Church was consecrated in 1908 by Bishop Christian Møller of Aalborg.
The construction of the church cost 33,000 kroner and was financed by both local and state support. Before the church was built, the town's 500 residents had to go to Horne to attend church.

The newly built church in Hirtshals had 200 seats and was simply furnished. The altar, baptismal font, and pulpit were made of light sandstone. Today, the church seats 252.

The nave, which is a full-rigged structure, is located in the central aisle. The nave was built by the harbor supervisor Damm in Frederikshavn and was a gift from the town's citizens in connection with the opening in 1908.

Each pew is decorated with a small painting by the artist Frits Gothardt Rasmussen of Ringe.

The altarpiece depicts Christ on the cross with the Mother of Jesus on one side and the Apostle John on the other. The church underwent significant alterations in the 1960s. In 2007, the church was restored and received a new organ.

Hirtshals Church has restrooms that are open until 5:30 p.m.

Hirtshals Church often hosts various events such as services, concerts, lectures, and other activities for all ages.
