The Board of Delegates is the supreme organ of Norwegian Church Aid, and comprises:

  • Delegates from each diocese of the Church of Norway 
  • Seven members of the Church Council of the Church of Norway (whereof one representative of the Saami Church Council and a youth representative under the age of 25)

  • One representative from each of the following organizations: the Evangelical Lutheran Free Church, the Free Evangelical Congregations, the Baptist Union of Norway, the Norwegian Mission Society, the Salvation Army, the Norwegian Methodist Church and the Pentecostal Movement in Norway.  
  • NORME and Global Aid Network meet as observers

Approximately 120 people are employed at the main office in Oslo, as regional consultants around Norway, as part of Changemaker (Norwegian Church Aid’s youth organisation) and at the field offices around the world. In addition, approximately sixty individuals make up the organisation's emergency preparedness roster, who travel out on missions at regular intervals to assist in emergencies.
