The afterlife is a massive mystery, and in this video, we detail what the New Church believes happens (both in general and step-by-step). The short answer is that life simply continues, but in a more beautiful and real way than we can possibly imagine.
"Worship with those who live a moral life from a spiritual origin... is truly a worship of God, for their prayers are elevated to heaven and are heard, for the Lord leads their prayers through heaven to Himself."
