About Church of the Golden Light

Church of the Golden Light is a Spiritualist church at 25 New North Rd in Eden Terrace, Auckland. It has a 4.0 rating from 10 Google reviews. Its website calls it one of the oldest Spiritualist churches in New Zealand. Reviewers praise its welcoming, friendly people and an eight-week course with a teacher named Clio, while another visitor objects that its beliefs differ from traditional Christian teaching.

That difference is worth knowing before you go. The website says its services are built around Spiritualism, including spirit communion, healing and mediums, and that it regards Jesus as an exemplar rather than a Saviour. Its newsletters mention services with mediums, repairs to the church ceiling and a toy donation to the Auckland City Mission. If you are curious, read the website first, arrive a little early and sit near the back for your first visit. Regulars know that a mediumship service is a different experience from a traditional worship service, and that asking about courses or upcoming events is a good way to get a feel for the community.

For anyone in Eden Terrace, Church of the Golden Light on New North Road is a long-standing Spiritualist congregation.
