Nordberg Church is a hexagonal church, located in the neighbourhood of Nordberg in Oslo, Norway.[1]

The church was completed in 1962 and was restored and expanded with a church parlor in 1982. The facade is in white bricks and has a characteristic church tower which can be seen from large parts of the city of Oslo. It is one of the largest churches in the city.[2][3][4]

The altar tapestry, The Resurrection, was made by Kari-Bjørg Ile. It came into place in 1992. The pulpit and the baptismal font are made according to the architects' drawings. The current church organ from 2015 is a digital organ of the type Johannus Monarke Präludium.[3]

There are two church bells from Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry in the church tower.[2]

Outside the church is a log house, a former chapel used for the church's nursery.[4][5]

The church is listed by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage and protected by Norwegian law.[6]
