List of churches in Rogaland

Map of the church deaneries (Norwegian: prostier) in the Diocese of Stavanger which covers all of Rogaland county.

This list of churches in Rogaland is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Stavanger in Norway. It includes all of the parishes in Rogaland county. The diocese is based at the Stavanger Cathedral in the city of Stavanger in Stavanger Municipality.

The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipality may have one or more parishes (sokn) within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish has one or more local church.[1]

The municipality of Stavanger is a special case since it has a large population and a large area. The central part of the city is its own deanery and the areas surrounding the city centre belong to a different deanery, and the outlying island areas belong to another deanery. The number, size, and compositions of the deaneries in the diocese have changed over time, most recently in 2013 when two deaneries were merged to form the new Ryfylke deanery.
