The vision for a Christian resource center grew out of the work of Tone Lise and Per Christian Gustavsen, who have worked with family, marriage and church building for 30 years. Through a chance meeting with Truls Olufsen-Mehus, who has a background in politics and social debate, they discovered that they shared a common calling to be plowshares for truth in the public sphere.
Both parties had seen a growing need for clear voices in Christian Norway – especially on issues where political correctness has made it difficult for Christian leaders to speak out. There was agreement that the change we want to see in society must start in the church, and that the change we want to see in the church must start in the home.
Kristent Ressurssenter promotes a Christian understanding of reality regarding family, marriage, gender and sexuality. We consider our mission to be a spiritual work. Our work equips families, congregations and individuals to stand firm and upright in a culture characterized by woke identity politics, normlessness and value conflicts.
Through education, information, conversations and concrete resources, we provide people with support and guidance. We treat politics as a means to promote values and therefore actively participate in various arenas of social debate. Kristent Ressurssenter takes responsibility for being at the forefront of public hearings and political processes that affect value issues within our areas of focus.
Kristent Ressurssenter bases its work on biblical Christian faith. We believe in one God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – and in salvation through faith in the finished work of Jesus. The Bible is our supreme authority, and we seek to convey the full message of Scripture with clarity, wisdom and respect. Our faith is rooted in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds, and we practice ethical guidance that is based on the integrity and clarity of the Bible.
Kristent Ressurssenter is led by an elected board of directors with members from various congregations. The board is responsible for operations and finances, and works according to principles of good Christian governance and transparency.
Stay up to date with what's happening at Kristent Ressurssenter - we regularly share news and relevant updates.
We want to promote Christian values in society, and have a particular focus on strengthening a Christian understanding of reality regarding family and children, gender and sexuality.
We highlight policies, legislation, and government practices that shape our culture and challenge Christian faith, ethics, and values.
Traditional family life, which is a foundation for stable societies, is under pressure. We therefore believe that the belief in marriage and family in accordance with Christian values must be strengthened. As Christians, we must stand together to be heard and support each other to be able to achieve more. By showing a united people who stand up for the truth in Christian value issues, we can equip and strengthen future generations.
-We support voluntary organizations and volunteer work that promote biblical and Christian values
-We want to create an environment for people and projects that communicate and work with Christian faith, values and views on life in the social debate.
-We will function as a center of expertise for Christian congregations, organizations and individuals in the face of political decisions, legislative changes and public administration practices that violate a Christian understanding of reality.
Monetary donations to the Christian Resource Center are used to engage competent and experienced people in the public debate, as well as to hold lectures, seminars and other initiatives that contribute to public education on current topics. With bold efforts, professional content and varied means, our value-conscious representatives will communicate Christian truths and values in the public sphere.
