Church Beliefs
Alton Christian Spiritualist Church brings
together Spiritualism and Christianity, believing they are a perfect
combination.
We believe in God the Father, God the
Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Bible is an essential reference.
Our teachings are taken not only from
the Bible but from the Messages of Zodiac, the Spirit Guide of a most
sensitive and devoted medium Winifred Moyes; Zodiac tells us he was
a teacher and scribe in the temple at Jerusalem, at the time of Christ
and chose his name in order to lift our eyes from earth to heaven.
The church was started over 50 years
ago by Mrs Olive Pybus, a Christian Spiritualist and medium. At one
time the church met in the Alton Assembly Rooms. Mrs Pybus was utterly
dedicated to her work and would cycle around the district raising funds
for charity, organising events, meals for the elderly, all the things
that are now perhaps done by the local authority. The Alton church was
founded to spread the truth of the continuity of active, conscious life
after so-called death, and to serve the local community.
Alton Christian Spiritualist Church is
supported very much in its aim by an ever increasing congregation which
is very encouraging. We now boast the highest member count since the
beginning of the church.
