Stay tuned for updated information on our new program!! OUR CHURCH
We are
a congregation for people who want an open minded, forward-looking Christian faith. Rather than confining religion to membership in an organization, we see life itself as a religious experience. In other words, how we live is what matters. The experiences of life offer opportunities for learning, changing, and growing as human beings. We each choose our own path, towards, or away from, God. As a congregation of the Swedenborgian Church of North America – a member of the National Council of Churches – we believe that a loving Christian faith celebrates the diverse cultural expressions of religion. We were the first ecumenical religion in the Western world, seeing salvation as an inner experience of spiritual growth rather than as a matter correct belief in a particular church’s teachings. As Christians, Jesus Christ is the center and soul of our worship. We believe that Christ lived and taught a path that we can follow to receive wholeness, peace, meaning and happiness. Rather than God suddenly appearing to set us straight, God entered completely into the human experience as the ultimate expression of love and compassion. God as Christ knew birth, growth, pain, testing, and fulfillment. In Christ we are given a comprehensible, knowable, personal God. OUR PASTOR
