The Dawson Creek Church of the New Jerusalem, as it is officially known, has members throughout the Peace River District and meets three time monthly (usually the first, second and third Sundays of the month) at the building pictured - on the corner of 8th Street and 91st Avenue. See Directions for driving instructions and for any variations in the schedule.

Sunday School and nursery care are provided for children during the adult sermon, and refreshments are always offered after the services. We have a great selection of books and literature on display - for borrowing or for purchase - all full of information about our uniquely Christian teachings. Visitors are most welcome for our simple blend of traditional and contemporary customs in a reverent but informal atmosphere, and the pastor is also happy to meet with anyone by appointment during the week.

A monthly newsletter, "The Peace River Current," is available free on request and recent back issues are also posted on this website. Sunday sermons are available by e-mail or by regular post, and they, too, are posted on this website.

As you will see in other pages of this site, the New Church is dedicated to the worship of God as He is revealed in the person of our Lord, Jesus Christ, whose Divine Humanity is fully documented and explained in some 35 volumes written by Emanuel Swedenborg in the latter half of the 18th century. There we are shown clearly and from Scripture that God is one in essence and in person, and that He has provided for our salvation, not through the vicarious sacrifice of His "Son" but through His own love and wisdom expressed in the work of His life on earth.

In addition, the New Church has a long list of beautiful teachings about the "symbolic" spiritual meaning of the Scriptures, the delicate process of spiritual growth and development, the laws of providence, the true meaning and purpose of marriage, the last judgment predicted in the New Testament and the life after death -- just for a start. We welcome your enquiries by any means and are happy to provide literature, research materials, follow-up contacts or other information as needed, here in northeast BC or anywhere in the world.
