The presence of a sizable group of Americans in Oslo following World War II gave rise to the desire for an American Church. The work of organizing the New congregation was placed in the hands of Dr. Oscar C. Hanson. His dedicated labors through two years of work laid a strong foundation for the congregation. The first service was held on October 12, 1958.

The generosity of members and friends in Norway and American and the support of the parent church body in America made possible the building of the beautiful church body in America made possible the building of the beautiful church at Fritznersgt. 15, which was dedicated in October 1964.

"Christ the King", the impressive bronze figure which graces the facade of the church exterior, is the creation of Professor Egon Weiner, formerly of the Chicago Art Institute. It was dedicated on August 27, 1967.

Since Dr. Oscar Hanson's pastorate, the congregation has been served by the following pastors: Dr. George Aus, the Rev. Myrus Knutson, the Rev. Arnold W. Nelson, the Rev. James R. Long, the Rev. Harry T. Cleven, the Rev. Richard A. Solberg, the Rev. Norman P. Belland, and the Rev. Guy Redfield. The Rev. Stephan Kienberger is the current pastor.
