Kristiansand domprosti

This arch-deanery covers all the churches within the municipality of Kristiansand in southern Agder county. The arch-deanery is headquartered at the Kristiansand Cathedral in the city of Kristiansand in Kristiansand municipality.
The Kristiansand domprosti has existed for a long time. On 4 May 1819, most of the rural areas in the arch-deanery were separated to form the new Mandal prosti, leaving a much smaller arch-deanery centred around the city of Kristiansand. On 1 January 2020, the parishes in the old municipalities of Songdalen and Søgne were merged into the Kristiansand domprosti when the municipality of Kristiansand was enlarged.
