Membership
Official membership of the General Church is made up of those who have chosen to be baptized and subscribe to the principles and purposes of the General Church. Membership is individual, and is not limited by race, nationality, or geography.
One becomes an official member of a particular society by first becoming a member of the General Church and then by signing the roll of membership of that society.
Joining the General Church
Membership is an opportunity to formalize your commitment to the Church.
Many people are connected to the New Church and the Writings of Swedenborg, but have not formally joined The General Church of the New Jerusalem. This is your invitation to join our organization and spiritual community, thereby formalizing your commitment to doing the Lord's work on earth. Of course, you will also be welcome to participate in our worship services if you have not taken these steps.
