The local church councils in Hemnes
The local church counsils are tasked with running the parish in the best possible way and facilitating the church to have various meeting points with a focus on Christian faith and values. The councils are an elected body, and are responsible for electing representatives to Hemnes Church Council, which consists of two members from each of the three local church councils, a representative from the municipality and a representative from the bishop. In Hemnes there are three churches, one at Hemnesberget, one in Korgen and one in Bleikvasslia and each place has its own local church council.
