John Andersen has been involved with mission and ministry in Christiania since 1990, and holds a degree in theology from Malmö University in Sweden. He lives in Christiania with his wife Sandra and their three children, and works as a professional carpenter/joiner for the free state’s administration.

John and Sandra founded the Christiania church in 2004, together with Ellen Gylling, a priest from the Danish state church Folkekirken who had conducted missionary visits to Christiania from the mid-1990s.

John heads the group of elders who run the Christiania church, and is responsible for the church’s dealings with Christiania’s various committees and institutions, as well as the church’s bank account.

The painting of John titled ‘John Andersen: Faith, Hope and Love’ was painted by artist Leah Robb, who attends the Christiania church.
