Vision & Purpose(Divine Providence 27) |
The New Church of Concord looks to the Lord and His Word for the vision and purpose of this church.
We strive to help people live happy and productive lives through an ever deepening and living relationship with the Lord.
We are committed to learning more about the Lord and the life that leads to heaven by directly approaching the Lord in His Word.
We support each other in our continual efforts to live a life according to the Lord's Word, both by shunning evils as sins against the Lord and by living a good and useful life in our community. We strive for this spiritual growth both for the sake of a better life in this world and in preparation for an eternal life in heaven.
We strive to demonstrate a spiritual marriage of love and truth in all of our church programs, services, and activities.
We grow from within and from without by affirming a vital core of doctrinal teachings and worship, and by allowing these to inspire us to a life of usefulness in our community.
We demonstrate our love towards the neighbor by sharing the New Church and its teachings with others, both in the way we live our lives and by actively introducing them to it.
We are an inspired and welcoming group of people from many different backgrounds who all share the common experience of a life according to the Lord's Word as revealed in the Old and New Testaments and the theological writings of Emanuel Swedenborg.
