Objects of	the Church:		For the public benefit, to advance the religion and the religious			philosophy			ofSpiritualism			on
			the basic ofthe following beliefs:
			- Belief in one God who is love;
			- Acceptance ofthe leadership ofJesus the Christ;
			- Belief that God manifests through the illimitable		power		of Holy Spirit;
			- Belief in the survival ofthe soul and	its individuality		after physical death;
			- Belief in communion with God, with	his angelic	ministers and with souls
			functioning in conditions other than	the earth life;

			others.
Activities and Achievements:			The Church bases its work upon the Bible teachings, causes the Scriptures						to be
			read regularly and does not permit any writings	to be read	or preached			which are		contrary		to
			the records and teachings ofthe Gospels, It preaches a firm faith				and	trust	in God through
			Jesus the Christ. Itdoes this by holding regular	services and special services of mediumship
			which are open to Church members and the general public.
			Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, services have not been		held	since		the end of		March 2020.
			Members ofthe Church have generously given	donations	to support the running					of	the
			Church during this difficult time.
			Several fund-raising events have taken place during the year including					a sponsored			C2C
			walk.
