Abstract
This thesis focuses on the role of Christian immigrant churches in helping their participants to

integrate in their new society. It does so by doing an empirical study on three different immigrant

churches in Oslo, Norway, where it investigates their activities, programs, connections and

associations, the sort of social capital they help provide and whether or not it can be said to

facilitate incorporation into the larger society. To help do that, this thesis applies social capital

theory and gives a broad presentation and analysis of the churches in question focusing on four

factors namely: Activities and programs, connections and associations with other organization

and the state, participants’ residential status, and organizational culture. In spite of limited

mentioning of linking social capital by previous researches, this thesis is concerned whether

linking social capital can be identified and whether or not it can be said to facilitate better

incorporation.
