The Fellowship of Ailbe is a Brotherhood of men, bonded together by a common Rule and Covenant, who are committed to realizing more of the presence, promise, and power of the Kingdom of God.
We are not a “Celtic” order or fellowship; rather, our vision, values, and ministry are informed and shaped in many ways by the example and teaching of Irish Christians who, between the fifth and ninth centuries, were used of God to bring a far-ranging revival and awakening to traditional Celtic lands, as well as to much of Europe.
We are committed to seeking Christ and His Kingdom, and to encouraging and equipping believers in all communions for a closer and more fruitful walk with Him.
The Fellowship provides an abundance of resources for Christian growth and ministry. These include:
We offer our resources at no charge, trusting the Lord to use them bountifully and to provide for us the same.
We serve a large and growing community of readers, students, mentees, and collaborators who share our vision for greater realization of the presence, promise, and power of the Kingdom of God.

The Board and Members of The Fellowship subscribe the historic doctrinal confessions of the Church, as these are represented in and consistent with The Nicene Creed.
We look to the period of the Celtic Revival (ca. 430-800 AD) for insights, examples, and encouragement in our mission. The emphasis on Christ and the work of revival, renewal, and awakening that characterized this period provides many touchstones for our Brothers and Community as we pursue our mission together.
We believe that a great need in the Church today is for men of vision, spiritual vitality, and long-term commitment. The special focus of our ministry is on reaching, building, and equipping men for life and service in the Kingdom of God. While our Brotherhood is restricted to men, and our revival prayer groups are organized for men, we are happy for men and women alike to participate in The Ailbe Community and use any or our resources.
