Ellingsrud Church is a church center in Oslo, Norway. Ellingsrud Church was consecrated in 1981. The church was built according to drawings by architect Erik Anker.

The altarpiece is painted by Ingjerd Pettersen-Hagh. The altarpiece is divided into three parts, and has a painting depicting the women at the grave of Christ, the risen Christ and Christ washing the disciples' feet.

The church organ has 17 voices, made by Ryde & Berg in 1994.

The church bells in a separate bell tower from Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry were made in 1981. There are 12 bells in the carillon, of which the two largest are also used for regular ringing.[1][2][3]

In the building is also a parish hall and the church's offices.[3] In the basement of the church is the "Culture Cellar", an exhibition and sale for local artists and craftsmen.[1][4]
