Bønes Church (Norwegian: Bønes kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.

History

The church was built in 1997 and consecrated on 7 December 1997. From 1997 until 2002, the church was an annex to the main Storetveit Church, but since 2002 it has been a separate parish. The church was designed to be built in two stages as the church grew in membership. The first stage was completed in 1997 and in 2009, a large addition was built onto the church, which completed the second stage. The new addition was consecrated on 6 December 2009.[3] [4] [5]
