Memorial Spiritualist Church

The Memorial Spiritualist Church is one of the few churches which was built as a Spiritualist church and has been continuously used for that purpose for over 60 years. The church was organized on October 13, 1938 and chartered by the National Spiritualist Association of Churches in May, 1939, then known as First National Spiritualist Church. Upon name changes, a charter in the name of Memorial Spiritualist Church was granted on April 5,1945, and in the name of Christian Metaphysical Chapel on October 30, 1964. On December 1,1991, the name was changed back to The Memorial Spiritualist Church through the presentation of a new charter by NSAC President, the Rev. Joseph Merrill in a special service.





The church is located on the corner of Llewellyn Avenue and 37th Street in Norfolk, Virginia and is the "mother" church of many of the other metaphysical churches in the area. Most of the individuals who have expanded their knowledge and opened other churches in the Tidewater area are former members or friends of M.S.C.
