Vision & Purpose

The VISION of the Pittsburgh New Church is that we can provide a spiritual home and community for all in the Pittsburgh area who love the Lord and want to grow and support one another in life and faith according to His Word. This uniquely includes:

  • A special focus on Jesus Christ as the infinite God present for us in His Divine Humanity.

  • An understanding of the Bible and eternal life enlightened by the spiritual writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose inspired message appeals especially to the rational mind.

  • A commitment to the life of faith through love and charity toward the neighbor.

The PURPOSE of the Pittsburgh New Church therefore is:

  • to engage as fully as possible in this work, worshiping, learning and working together,

  • and sharing our vision with all in the Pittsburgh area who, searching for a deeper, stronger faith, are receptive of a whole new approach to traditional Christianity.
