The Øverbygd church is a wooden church dating from 1867, the work of the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The interior of the church was restored in 1967 and 1972. Among other things, the wooden walls were insulated and panelled to make the church warmer. Recently, the inhabitants have tried to bring the church's furniture back to its original style.

Kirkesnesmoen chapel was built of wood in 1977. The church has a long plan and was designed by architect Harry Gangvik.
Storsteinnes chapel is a wooden church from 1968. The chapel was designed by the Armed Forces' district engineer Northern Norway, who also designed the Heggelia chapel in Målselv at the same time.
The Målselv church was consecrated in 1978, after the old wooden church from 1883 was reduced to ashes by lightning in 1972. The new church is a working church, built in concrete according to plans by architect Kjell Hansen of the Gangvik architectural practice in Tromsø. On the long side of the building there is a high, flat-roofed bell tower. In the wings surrounding the church hall are the parish hall, meeting rooms, offices and kitchen. The church hall is rectangular, with a high, pointed gabled roof.
