In 1813, he was called to be the pastor in Sande in Vestfold. In 1817 he received the call to work as vicar of the parish of Aker as well as the palace priest for Akershus Fortress. In 1823, he was appointed to be the Bishop of the Diocese of Christianssand where he was based at the Christianssand Cathedral. He held this position until his death in 1832.[2]
