The

we progress in our plans, we will keep you updated on our website. Thank
you and God bless.
The First Spiritual Temple is
an Interfaith Church of the Spirit, founded by Marcellus Seth Ayer on June
28, 1883. The Temple emerged out of the, then, Modern
Spiritualist Movement. Our fundamental doctrine states that God is
Spirit, we are Spirit, our departed loved ones are Spirit, all life is
Spirit; and that is how we are all connected.
Our church is both universal
and ancient. We seek to understand the many and varied aspects of religion
which have existed upon our planet from the moment we stepped into physical
form. We look to the collective Christ Consciousness, as manifested most
recently in the Master Jesus, as a most profound example of Spirit alive in
the world. We embrace his teachings and accept his challenge to do even
greater things than he.
Marcellus Ayer founded our
church in order to address the growing needs of
people to understand God, Spirit, spiritualism, death and dying, Jesus
Christ, and the Bible in a more practical and working manner. He stood
firmly upon the highest ethics and standards of excellence in working with
Spirit. We proudly carry that banner today.
As part of our ministry, the
First Spiritual Temple hosts the Ayer Institute,
a teaching body dedicated to the study, demonstration and advancement of
Spirit communication, healing, and the journey of the soul. We have a
4,000-volume library devoted to spiritualism, mediumship, parapsychology,
and a variety of religious thought.
We hope that you will find the
information within these pages helpful and inspiring. More importantly, we
hope that these pages touch your heart, your Spirit, and your hope! We are
all Spirit, and that is how we are all connected.
