Map of the deaneries within the Diocese of Agder og Telemark

This list of churches in Agder og Telemark is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark in Agder and Vestfold og Telemark counties in southern Norway. The diocese is based at the Kristiansand Cathedral in the city of Kristiansand. The diocese includes all of Agder county and the majority of Vestfold og Telemark county, with the exception of the far eastern part of that county which belongs to the Diocese of Tunsberg.

This list is divided into nine sections, one for each Deanery (Norwegian: prosti) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches are divided by municipalities, each of which have their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipal church council may be made up of more than one parish (sokn), each of which may have their own council (soknerådet). Each parish may have one or more congregations in it.[1]

Kristiansand domprosti

This arch-deanery covers all the churches within the municipality of Kristiansand in southern Agder county.

On 1 January 2020, the parishes in the old municipalities of Songdalen and Søgne were merged into the arch-deanery when the municipality of Kristiansand was enlarged.[2][3]

Also in 1883, the parishes of Valle, Evje, and Bygland joined Torridal when the old Setesdal (Råbyggelaget prosti) deanery was dissolved. In 1905, the Tveit parish was moved back (again) to Torridal.
