Den 1. november 1905 ble Herre Kirke innviet av daværende biskop Thorkildsen. Kirken var tegnet av arkitekt Børve. Allerede i 1866 ble de første planer for kirke på Herre lagt, men dette strandet pga dyr tomtepris. I 1876 fikk man en tomt av godseier Fr. Croft på Hellestvedts tomt, men den ble heller ikke tatt i bruk og ble returnert giver.

I 1890 ble Herre bedehus interimkirke og fungerte som dette frem til 1905. Da var man i gang med arbeid på ny kirke. Giverene var mange, blant annet kan nevnes eierene av Bamble Aktie Cellulosefabrikk, grossererene Juel og Jacobsen, som ga 16 109 kr, samt orgel og fri grunn. En virkelig storslått gave når vi vet at kostnadene på byggingen av kirken alene ble på 23 709 kr.

I 1898 ble kirkegården innviet. Kirkeklokken ble hengt opp i et tre, senere ble det reist et klokketårn.

November 1^st, 1905, the church of Herre was consecrated by the bishop of that time, bishop Thorkildsen. The church was drawn by architect Børve. Already in 1866, the first plans was layed for a church in Herre, but it stranded because of high price of the ground. In 1876, the estate owner Fr. Croft, gave Herre ground on the farm of Hellestvedt for a new church, but also this ground was returned unused.

In 1890, Herre chapel became interimchurch and functioned as this until 1905. At that time they were working on the new church. There was a lot of donors. Mr. Juel and mr. Jacobsen, the owners of Bamble Aktie Cellulosefabrikk, gave 16 109 NKr, together with an organ and free ground to the church. A really grand gift when we know that the costs of the building of the church alone was 23 709 NKr.

In 1898, the cemetary was consecrated. The churchbell was first hung by a three, later a tower was built for the bell.
