More information on American Lutheran Church in Oslo

In the wake of World War II and Norway's membership in NATO, a considerable group of Americans came to live in Oslo. Many of them felt the need for a religious community of their own. Through individual gifts and financial support from their parent church body in the USA, this Modernist building in Fritznersgate was built by architects Søvik, Methri & Mattson of Northfield, Minnesota, and consecrated in October 1964. The bronze figure on the façade was made by professor Egon Weiner in 1967. The Congregation welcomes all baptised Christians, aiming to be "especially sensitive to the needs of people living in an international environment and those in intercultural marriages". Also, children will not be a problem, as they have a nursery. The style of worship is Lutheran, though at times simplified, and includes hymns from a variety of traditions. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and third Sunday of the month. Sunday programme: September-May: 9:30a Sunday School and adult education; 11a Worship; Noon coffee fellowship. June-August: 10a contemporary service; Noon coffee fellowship.
