Welcome

Welcome to the web site for the National Spiritualist Association of Churches (NSAC). Spiritualism is a religion and philosophy of life focused on joy, harmony, and a fear-free understanding of the continuity of life. Please explore on this site our history, teachings, and locations of churches and camps near you. We're glad you found us.
-- Rev. Lelia E. Cutler, President

NSAC ...The object of this Society is to effect a complete organization of the Spiritualists of the United States of America into one general association... for the advancement of those purposes, undertakings and enterprises germane to the study of the phenomena, the promotion of the Science, and the promulgation of the Philosophy and Religion of Spiritualism.

Spiritualism is the Science, Philosophy, and Religion of continuous life, based upon the demonstrated fact of communication, by means of mediumship, with those who live in the Spirit World.

Spiritualism is founded upon a Declaration of Principles, nine in number, received from the Spirit World by means of mediumship. They provide a firm and tangible foundation on which to base the knowledge of Spiritualism.
