The Church of Emerstari is the established state church of Emerstari. The Bishop of the Synod is the most senior cleric, but the Emerstarian king is the Defender of the Faith and Patriarch. The Church of Emerstari is also the mother church of the larger Emerstarian Communion. Georg I Erik renounced papal authority in 1444; however, the Church views itself as both catholic and reformed:
- Catholic in the sense that it retains many pre-reformation liturgical practices and sacrement and views itself as a part of the universal church of Jesus Christ in unbroken continuity with the early apostolic church and the original Catholic Church in Emerstari, established in the first century by Gorm of Flodland and St. Sigebert.
- Reformed in the sense that it is shaped by the doctrinal principles of Martin Luther outlined in Concordia.
Since the Reformation, the Church of Emerstari has used a liturgy in Emerstarian. The governing structure is based on bishorpics, with each bishopric headed by a bishop. Within, there are local parishes and individual churches and monastaries. The Alltmåndessynod is the governing body for the church and comprises of bishops and other clergymen; it is most known for electing the Bishop of the Synod. The Church is sometimes criticized by more liberal sects for its overall traditionalism and its views on the ordination of women, homosexutality, divorce, and abortion.
