Faith and Teaching
The Orthodox Church is the Church of the Holy Apostles and the Holy Fathers, which unerringly preserves the truth of the Gospel. Our faith is founded upon Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition, which together form the treasure of Orthodox theology.
The teaching of the Church instructs us in love for God and neighbor, in repentance, humility, and the striving for holiness. We believe that Christ is the Head of the Church and that through Him we receive eternal life.
History of the Community
The Bulgarian Orthodox Church Community in Bergen arose in response to the spiritual needs of Bulgarians living in Norway. Over the years, the community has grown and has been established as a spiritual and cultural center where the Orthodox faith and Bulgarian traditions find their home far from the native land.
The history of our parish is a testimony to God’s grace and to the efforts of the faithful to preserve and hand down to their children the living faith in Christ.
