What We Believe…
Spiritualism is a religious and spiritual belief which blends ancient wisdom with contemporary thought. References to Spiritualism have been found for centuries in religious, literary, and historic writings. The understanding that life continues after death and that communication is possible between the Spirit World and the Earth World is the foundation of present day Spiritualism.
Spiritualists recognize God as the Universal Source, the Infinite Spirit. We believe that each of us is an integral part of the God Power. Our philosophy teaches that the path to spiritual growth and positive living comes from taking personal responsibility for one’s own behavior. We do not believe that anyone can or needs to atone for another’s transgressions.
Spiritualists do not embrace the concepts of the reward of heaven and the punishment of hell. We believe that, following “death”, all souls progress onward into the Spirit World where teachings for spiritual advancement continue.
