The first Norwegian Seamen's Church in Miami opened in 1981. At that time, primarily Norwegian sailors and Norwegians working in the cruise industry took advantage of the religious services and cultural activities offered by the church. Today, there are fewer sailors, but some 4000 Norwegians now reside in the area. In addition, a large number of Scandinavian tourists visit Miami and the Seamen's Church each year. The church was originally located at the port, but as the number of sailors using the church diminished, the location was no longer ideal. The new church is situated in Davie, west of Fort Lauderdale, and houses a library, banquet hall, offices, conference rooms and homes for three families in addition to the chapel.
