The Pinpoint of Light Spiritualist Center and Camp are auxiliaries of the National Spiritualist Association of Churches. Our mission is to provide a place where individuals can explore their spirituality and, if they wish, develop their spiritual gifts. Spiritualism is the Science, Philosophy and Religion of continuous life. Spiritualism demonstrates continuous life through the messages from the higher side of life received through mediums. These messages are delivered in the form of inspirational talks or writings and personal greetings from loved ones who have crossed to the higher side of life. The proof of the authenticity of these communications is in the perception of the receiver as to their accuracy. Spiritualism acknowledges natural law and expresses a system of values by which one should live. What we call Modern Spiritualism has been practices in all cultures throughout the history of mankind. There have always been those individuals who were aware of and in contact with the higher spiritual realms. There has always been a belief in a superior force, a source, invisible to our human senses. Spiritualism recognizes that there is truth in all the writings of other religions and that these writings are a reflection of the time in human evolution in which they were produced and are the interpretation of individuals. Modern Spiritualism came into being as the result of phenomena taking place in a small cottage in Hydesville, New York in 1848. The experiences of the Fox family in that cottage began a search for the truth by true believers and skeptics alike. In 1864 the first National Convention of Spiritualists assembled in Chicago, IL. The organization was called the National Association of Spiritualists and existed for nine years. The National Spiritualist Association or National Spiritualist Association of the United States held its first convention in September of 1893 in Chicago, IL. An amendment to the incorporation was recorded on December 1, 1922 changing the name of the organization to The National Spiritualist Association. Another amendment was recorded on April 27, 1953 changing the name to The National Spiritualist Association of Churches.
