Our Church Story - How We Began
Nestled in the heart of the Crown Point Community, East Hamilton Spiritual Church has resided for over 100 years.
Our journey began when a devoted group of Spiritualists came together with the desire to create a space they could call their own. Land on Balmoral St. N. was purchased and the original church was built in 1921. The church would become the Spiritual hub for Spiritualists far and wide, travelling from across Canada, the U.S.A. and the U.K.
In 1974, the Balmoral St. N. church property was sold to the city for redevelopment. EHSC relocated to their current home, 83 Ottawa St. N., a picturesque, cozy dwelling, steps away from the original Tim Hortons & within walking distance of many unique shops and restaurants in the Ottawa St. shopping district.
Here we are, over 100 years later, continuing to be the Spiritual haven for the Spiritual community at large, welcoming and embracing all, honoring our Mission Statement to teach and proclaim the Science, Philosophy and Religion of Spiritualism.
Come join our church family and enjoy the wonderful essence of Spiritualism East Hamilton Spiritual Church has to offer.
Our Ministers
Our Ministers are available to officiate: Weddings; Renewal of Vows; Funerals; Celebrations of Life; Committal to Ground, or Columbarium Niche; Naming Ceremonies (Adult or Child); and any other services their gifts may help you with.
Absent Healing Prayer List
If you or a loved one are in need of healing and are unable to attend a church service, please send us your name/s and they will be added to our Absent Healing Prayer List which Rev. Denise sends out to our church healers every Monday morning. To provide us your information, you may call the church at: 905-545-7050 and leave a message or email us at: easthamiltonspiritualchurch@gmail.com
Healing Blanket Prayer Circle
Another beautiful way to express spiritual healing is through the comfort of wrapping yourself in the warmth of a healing blanket. When a healing blanket prayer circle is requested, our certified healers gather into a meditation circle, joined by your loved ones in spirit, and infuse your blanket with loving, healing energies. You may purchase a hand knitted blanket from the church (or provide your own). A copy of the Healing Blanket Poem, channelled to Rev. Kathleen Barnard (from her Spirit teachers, December 7th, 2016) will be gifted with your blanket. If you would like a healing blanket created for yourself (or a loved one) please contact the church at: 905-545-7050 or email us at: easthamiltonspiritualchurch@gmail.com
