A church in Bodstedt was mentioned for the first time in 1388 .

Only the nine square Tauffünte of granite and the intricate mural on the north side are from the medieval receive equipment. The rest of the inventory is just as baroque as the beamed ceiling decorated with acanthus paintings.
The pulpit , decorated with biblical scenes and evangelist images, the desk angel and a panel with the baptism of Jesus date from the late 17th century. The altarpiece from 1741 shows a picture of the Lord's Supper and above as a group of figures the transfiguration of the Lord : Jesus between Moses and Elias in front of the three disciples Peter, James and John.
In 1934 Bernhard Hopp made the figurative wall paintings. The ship models below the pulpit also date from the 20th century. There is a flood mark from 1872 on the brick building.
