Newcomer Programs - Orientation and Classes

There are regularly scheduled New Church Orientation classes as well as periodic programs of New Church Discovery which run over a period of weeks.

New Church Foundations ran as a series of classes in fall 2008 and will run again in the future - please check back for future dates or contact the Pastor's office for more information about the next series of classes. You do not have to have attended the previous classes in this series to attend either of these.

The Foundations program is your introduction to the teachings of the New Church.

This is an interactive experience designed to serve people who are exploring questions about God, life after death, the Bible, and spiritual growth, and are interested in the New Church perspective on these ideas.

This is a seven-week program. Each week will feature a different lesson and reflections.

The program has been organized to explore one topic each week. The teachings, readings, etc. for each topic have been broken up to allow you to explore a portion on each separate day. Most days provide a "Reflection" for you to consider, shown in the right sidebar of each day's page. An example of the topics is listed below -

* Week One: The Purpose of Life

* Week Two: Honoring the Lord's Presence

* Week Three: Seeking Guidance from God's Word

* Week Four: Living and Growing Spiritually

* Week Five: Spiritual Community

* Week Six: Serving the Needs of Others

* Week Seven: Church Background
