About Folkekirken

The Folkekirken has been instrumental in building society for over 1000 years and continues to do so. The Folkekirken is close to individuals during life's crucial phases, fosters communities, manages local heritage and cultural life, and contributes to the broader conversation about the kind of society we desire. As Denmark's largest membership organization, the Folkekirken is structured into dioceses, deaneries, and parishes, governed locally by parish councils. There are over 2,000 churches in Denmark, and much of the church's work is connected to a parish church. However, the Folkekirken is also present in many other settings: at hospitals, hospices, on the streets, at educational institutions, during accidents and crises, in the field, and in prisons. On LinkedIn, we share insights into the Folkekirken as a professional organization and a significant societal actor.
