Consultation

On membership

We would be very happy if you decide to become a member of the Ancient Celtic Church and thus formally become part of the one body of Jesus Christ and its community. Of course, in a church there are costs that we need to cover. There are several options available to you for this:

Option 1: Paperless membership - 2 Euro per month (24 Euro annual fee).

We will send you all documents electronically. Some services provided by the church are not included and may be charged separately when used or covered by voluntary donations, e.g. training at the Collegium Anianum pastoral seminary, religious membership, allowances for local clergy. For Persons with low income the membership can be reduced to 12 Euro per year.

Option 2: Membership Plus - 10 Euro per month (120 Euro annual fee)

The Plus membership already includes the training fees for the Collegium Anianum pastoral seminary, postage fees for sending documents, allowances for local clergy for baptisms, weddings and funerals in countries where the church has local ministers (currently in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Croatia, Greece and New Zealand).

Please contact us via the contact form. We will then send you a membership application and can discuss your questions and details.

For the exchange among the members and friends of the Ancient Celtic Church, we have set up a Facebook group that can be accessed via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ancientcelticchurchmembers/

We are also happy to support you in founding a new church and assuming spiritual offices.

Life events

Like the seasons, life follows certain cycles, starting with birth, adolescence, growing up, marriage, parenthood, old age, illness and inevitable death. Committing these life events with rituals is a custom cultivated in all cultures and helps with the transition into a new phase of life. We accompany our members with the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, wedding, Confession, Anointing of the sick and bereavement. Please contact us informally by email or by phone for a consultation.

Pastoral care and spiritual support

Pastoral care is an important offer of the church. It helps us to cope with problems and to find solutions. The church sees itself as a hospital for the soul. The pastors of the church are available to our members as contact persons and accompany them in overcoming life problems and in spiritual practice. Of course, this cannot replace professional psychotherapy and family therapy. Please contact your community or use the contact form to make an appointment.

Church planting

We advise you on church planting, be it in the organization of church life, the training of clergy and organizational issues. This usually starts with a house church and doesn't require any major formalities. With large communities the question arises at some point whether an association should be founded. You can also join existing congregations in our church. Please contact us by email or phone to arrange a consultation.

If you feel called to take on spiritual and liturgical roles, we would be happy to advise you on how you can take this path in the ancient Celtic church. Please contact us using the contact form. More information about the Pastoral seminar can be found on our website.
