Danish National Church

The Danish National Church, also known as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark, is the official state church. It is a Protestant denomination rooted in Lutheran Christianity and has a formal connection to the Danish government. Most Danes are members, and the Church manages religious activities, services, and ceremonies like baptisms, weddings, and funerals. While membership is voluntary, the church receives state support and plays a significant cultural and historical role in Denmark’s national identity. Its teachings emphasize central Christian doctrines, focusing on faith, grace, and community, within a framework that values tradition and national heritage.
