Mikael & Hanna Thomsen
My name is Mikael Thomsen, and together with my wife Hanna, I serve as the founding pastor of Nordkirken, a Reformed Baptist church in Aalborg, Denmark.
Although I grew up in Zambia as the son and grandson of missionaries and church planters, God placed a burden on my heart to serve as an indigenous missionary in my home country Denmark.
In 2012, Hanna and I opened our home in a small village south of Aalborg, where a handful of people began gathering for Bible teaching, prayer, and worship, which later became Nordkirken.
Today, our church family has grown into a congregation with many young families and children, and we continue to proclaim the gospel through expository preaching, discipleship, evangelism, and pastoral care.
Alongside pastoral ministry, I also work full time while pursuing theological studies, seeking to equip the church with faithful and biblically grounded teaching.
Hanna has faithfully stood beside me throughout the years, and together we have sought to build a home and family life centered on Christ and hospitality.
We have been blessed with two daughters, Amalie and Fillipa, and family life remains an important part of our ministry and witness.
Our desire is not merely to grow one local church, but to see more biblically faithful churches planted throughout Denmark for the glory of God.
What drives us is a deep conviction that people need the true gospel clearly preached with both truth and love in a spiritually confused culture.
We are passionate about helping people know Christ through the faithful teaching of Scripture and seeing lives transformed by the grace of God.

The World's 'Happiest' Country Has a Broken Heart
Denmark, a prosperous northern European nation of nearly 6 million people, is often praised as one of the happiest countries in the world. Yet beneath the outward stability and prosperity lies a deeply secular and spiritually empty society, making Denmark one of the most atheistic nations in the Western world. Fewer than 3% attend church regularly, and many identify merely as “cultural Christians” with little understanding of the gospel. At the same time, depression and mental health struggles have become significant public health concerns, and approximately one in six Danish children is diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder before the age of 18. Though Denmark may appear “happy” on the surface, many people are searching for meaning, hope, and lasting peace apart from Christ. The Danish people are in desperate need of faithful gospel preaching, Christ-centered discipleship, and biblically grounded churches that proclaim the truth of Scripture and the love of Christ to every generation.

Support our ministry
We believe that the local church is God’s primary means for proclaiming the gospel and making disciples. Our desire is to serve Christ by fulfilling the Great Commission in Denmark, strengthened by God’s grace through faithful church partnerships.
All Kontaktmission staff live on support, meaning we believe that God will provide for His mission, through His church. Please consider joining our sending team by partnering with us in prayer and partnering with us financially.
