Map of the deaneries within the Diocese of Agder og Telemark

Several Church of Norway churches are in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark in Norway. This list includes all of the parishes in Agder and Telemark counties. The diocese is based at the Kristiansand Cathedral in the city of Kristiansand in Kristiansand Municipality.

Contents

The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipality may have one or more parishes (sokn) within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish has one or more local church. The number and size of the deaneries and parishes has changed over time. [1]

Kristiansand domprosti

This arch-deanery (Norwegian : domprosti) covers all the churches within the municipality of Kristiansand in southern Agder county. The arch-deanery is headquartered at the Kristiansand Cathedral in the city of Kristiansand in Kristiansand municipality.

The Kristiansand domprosti has existed for a long time. On 4 May 1819, most of the rural areas in the arch-deanery were separated to form the new Mandal prosti, leaving a much smaller arch-deanery centred around the city of Kristiansand. On 1 January 2020, the parishes in the old municipalities of Songdalen and Søgne were merged into the Kristiansand domprosti when the municipality of Kristiansand was enlarged. [2] [3]
