Welcome to Oslokirken!

Aina & I are happy to receive you into «The New Oslokirken», as well as into our expanding initiatives and family of ministries and churches in Oslo, Norway, Europe, and globally.

This apostolic center and local church really «started» in my heart in 1985, when I was the associate pastor of Salemkirken here in Oslo. The Lord distinctly called me to this city. That is why I always say that «Oslo is the city that I love». My wife and co-pastor Aina & I - together - have a heart for this city.
