About the New Church

• 

  Who is God?

  There is one, all-loving God of heaven and earth who seeks to be united with the human race through a life lived according to His Word.
• 

  The Word of God

  There are several different layers of meaning contained in the Word: the literal, historical and spiritual meaning. The Word imparts its gems to us when we learn to understand the spiritual significance of biblical allegory and apply it to our daily lives.
• 

  New Christianity

  There is one God with three aspects to His being. Just as we all have a soul, a body and the actions of our lives (and are one person), so it is with God.
• 

  Salvation

  "The sum of faith is that one who lives well and believes rightly is saved by the Lord." (True Christian Religion 340)
• 

  Life After Death

  At some point, your body will die but the essence of who you are lives on. Death is merely a transition of the spirit between different states of being.
• 

  Marriage

  There is one human bond which rises above all others in the beauty and magnitude of its love. This is the bond shared by married partners who cultivate what Swedenborg calls 'conjugial love'.
