The Church of Norway

The Church of Norway is an Evangelical Lutheran Christian denomination that was the national church until 2017, when it transitioned to a partnership model with the Norwegian government. It has deep historical roots in Norway, shaping the country's culture and identity. The church conducts worship services, sacraments, and religious education, emphasizing community and spiritual life. While it remains influential and funded by the state, it operates independently in theological and administrative matters. Membership is voluntary, and the church actively engages in social issues, promoting values rooted in Christian faith within Norwegian society.
