The Church of Sweden is where people are.

Close to where you live and on the other side of the world. We are everywhere for those who want and need – in loneliness, crisis, joy, and sorrow, in important events and in everyday life. No matter who you are and what faith you have. At the Church Office, about 600 people work across a wide range of professions, at the forefront of our areas of expertise. Together, we work on issues that are common to the entire Church of Sweden. In this way, we strengthen the church's ability to meet contemporary challenges and contribute to peace, justice, and a sustainable society.
