Newcastle Spiritualist Church is a welcoming community of people from all walks of life who come together to explore Spiritualism, develop their own spiritual awareness, and enjoy friendship, support and personal growth.
You don't need any previous experience or special knowledge to become part of our community. We encourage anyone considering membership to spend some time attending our Sunday Services, meditation groups and other activities so you can get to know us and decide whether our Church feels like the right fit for you.
Membership begins as an Associate Member.
If you would like to become a member, simply complete an Associate Membership Application Form and pay the annual membership fee of $10. Application forms are available at the Church.
If you'd like to know more about membership or the application process, please speak with the Chairperson following one of our Sunday Services or with your meditation group facilitator. They will be happy to answer any questions and guide you through the process.
Applications are considered by the Committee in accordance with the Church Constitution and Membership Policy.
After being an Associate Member for at least 12 months, you may apply to become a Full Member. Full Members have voting rights at General Meetings and play an important role in the future direction and governance of the Church.
Membership offers a range of benefits that help you become more involved in the life of Newcastle Spiritualist Church. Members have access to our extensive Church Library, with a wide selection of spiritual books available to borrow throughout the year.
Members are also invited to participate in our twice-yearly Spiritual Retreats held at the beautiful Tocal Agricultural College, providing an opportunity for spiritual development, relaxation and fellowship with like-minded people.
For many of our special events and workshops, members receive access to TryBooking bookings 24 hours before they open to the general public, giving them the first opportunity to secure a place at popular events.
Membership is more than simply joining an organisation. It is a commitment to being part of a caring, respectful and inclusive spiritual community where people support one another in their personal and spiritual growth.
Our members are encouraged to uphold the Seven Principles of Spiritualism, treat one another with kindness and respect, and contribute positively to the harmony and wellbeing of the Church community.
We look forward to welcoming you.
