LDS Missions in Norway

There is currently 1 active mission in Norway. Explore where each one is based, the local time, the climate and what to do next if you have been called there.

Norway with each mission's base city marked. Markers show where missions are based, not the areas they cover — the Church does not publish mission boundaries as map data, and missionaries serve across areas set by the mission.

The mission in Norway

Every mission below links to its own page, with that mission’s map, local time, current weather, climate and preparation guides.

About LDS missions in Norway

There is currently 1 active LDS mission based in Norway, in 1 city. The Norway Oslo Mission is based in Oslo, the national capital. Every mission city is north of the tropics, so June to August is summer and December to February is winter.

Missionaries serve across areas set by their mission, which can reach well beyond the city the mission is based in, and they are transferred between those areas during a mission.

Local time in Norway

Every mission in Norway keeps Europe/Oslo. The clock below is live, and follows daylight saving where it applies.

Missionary Tracker shows this clock next to your missionary, so nobody at home has to work out whether it is a reasonable hour to write.

Climate and seasons in Norway

Every mission city in Norway shares one climate class: warm-summer humid continental (Köppen Dfb). Warm summers and cold, snowy winters, with precipitation in every month.

Across those cities, the warmest monthly average high is 21 °C (71 °F) in Oslo during July, and the coolest monthly average low is -7 °C (20 °F) in Oslo during February.

Always use your Missionary Portal and your mission’s own “what to bring” instructions when deciding what clothing or equipment to pack. This describes the weather, not what to take.

Languages

The languages most widely used across Norway are Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian and Norwegian Nynorsk.

This describes the country, not the assignment. The language a missionary is called to speak is set by the Church and stated in the call itself — it can differ from the languages above, and missionaries serving in the same country are not always assigned the same one.

Preparing to serve in Norway

If you have received a mission call to Norway, begin with the instructions in your Missionary Portal and the mission’s own letter — those are the only sources that speak for your mission. These guides cover the practical side nobody sends you: the paperwork, the shopping, the packing and the last weeks at home.
