New Church of Phoenix

About this church

New Church of Phoenix holds its regular Sunday service at 10:30 a.m. at 5631 East Shea Boulevard in Scottsdale. The gathering opens with families together and includes a children’s talk, prayer, and benediction. Children may then move to the nursery or an age-suited Sunday School lesson while adults remain for further readings, an interlude, and a sermon. Because the congregation is small, children’s activities adapt to the ages present each week. Silence is observed in the sanctuary to maintain a reverent atmosphere.

This Swedenborgian “New Church” tradition teaches that worship is expressed by living God’s commandments in daily life. Its distinctive beliefs include Jesus Christ as the one God; a symbolic meaning within Scripture; salvation as an ongoing process of freely turning from evil toward useful service; spiritual marriage continuing after death; and heaven open to people who love God and live by the commandments. That theology makes the newcomer and beliefs pages particularly useful before a first visit. The congregation presents itself as a place for people seeking a practical spiritual framework and a personal relationship with God. Holiday services can replace the regular Sunday time, so consult the current calendar near Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving.
