A Place of Connection, Healing, and Spiritual Exploration.
We invite you to experience the love, peace, and guidance that Spiritualism offers.
We are a warm and inclusive community where people come together to explore spirituality, find comfort, and seek answers to life’s bigger questions. Whether you are searching for personal growth, healing, or a deeper understanding of life beyond the physical, our church provides a supportive space for spiritual discovery.
At the heart of our philosophy is Spiritualism, which teaches that life continues beyond physical existence and that communication with loved ones in spirit is possible. Our services, healing sessions, and development circles offer opportunities for inspiration, personal growth, and meaningful connection.
No matter your background or level of experience, our doors are open to all who are curious, seeking comfort, or wishing to explore their spiritual path.
What We Believe – The Principles of Spiritualism:
Spiritualism is more than just a belief—it is a way of life based on personal understanding, experience, and the pursuit of spiritual truth.
Seven Principles form the foundation of Spiritualism for our church, guiding our members in both their spiritual and human journeys. These were given through the mediumship of Emma Hardinge Britten in 1871.
1. The Fatherhood of God
Through studying nature and the laws of cause and effect, we recognize a creative force in the universe. This eternal force not only brought life into existence but continues to create. Its presence can be seen in all things, from the smallest form of life to the vastness of space. As part of this creation, we acknowledge God as our Father.
2. The Brotherhood of Man
All humanity shares a common origin, making us one universal family. A brotherhood is built on mutual support and understanding. By giving and receiving, we create harmony in our lives and fulfill our duty to one another.
3. The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels
Unlike other religions that teach life after death, Spiritualism proves it through communication with the spirit world. Mediumship provides evidence of survival, as loved ones continue to express their interest in us. Some spirits dedicate themselves to guiding and healing, as seen in the teachings of Silver Birch through Maurice Barbanell.
4. The Continuous Existence of the Human Soul
Science affirms that matter and energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed. So it is with the spirit—it is indestructible. Upon death, the spirit transitions to the spirit world, retaining its individuality and personality, progressing through its own efforts.
5. Personal Responsibility
Each individual is accountable for their thoughts, words, and deeds. Spiritual growth is a personal journey, and no external force can dictate our progress unless we allow it. With free will comes the responsibility to choose what is right for our spiritual development.
6. Compensation and Retribution Hereafter for all the Good and Evil Deeds Done on Earth
The Law of Cause and Effect governs this principle: as we sow, so shall we reap. The consequences of our actions manifest not only in the afterlife but in this world. Understanding this allows us to correct our wrongs before we transition to the spirit realm.
7. Eternal Progress Open to Every Human Soul
Within each soul lies the potential for spiritual growth. Progress depends on our desire for wisdom and love. The journey toward enlightenment is always open, and we advance as we seek greater understanding of the divine.
These principles guide us in living a meaningful, compassionate, and spiritually aware life, encouraging kindness, understanding, and a deep respect for all existence.
