On April 25, 2026, the second intensive course on Apostolic Church History took place at the Brockhagen Archives. Ten participants from five federal states of Germany spent an entire day exploring the history and development of the various communities within the Apostolic denomination family.

Invitation: Intensive course “Introduction to Apostolic Church History” to be held again on April 25
Last September, we offered a full-day introductory course titled “Introduction to Apostolic Church History” for the first time at the Brockhagen Archive. Interested participants traveled from near and far to explore the origins and development of (New) Apostolic churches and religious communities. We are now offering a repeat of the event on April 25 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Brockhagen: Advent in ecumenical community
On December 6, 2025, the traditional Advent singing took place in the Brockhagen Archive. The archive choir, flute ensemble, and other performers put together a varied program in the well-filled lecture hall.
Brockhagen: Invitation to an intensive course on apostolic church history!
On September 13, 2025, we will be offering a new format at the Brockhagen Archive—a full-day event entitled “Introduction to Apostolic Church History.” This day offers a structured introduction to the history of the Catholic Apostolic movement and the communities that emerged from it. It is therefore a “crash course” that aims to summarize the most important aspects of apostolic history from its beginnings in the 1820s and 1830s to the present day.
Meeting and discussion on the recent church history of the NAC in the Brockhagen Archive
On Friday, July 18, 2025, Manfred Dorowski and Toni Bausen visited the archive for the second time, after having already handed over a special archive donation on the history of the Social and Educational Working Group for the NAC on April 25.
Network events in the second half of 2025
Traditionally, around July 14, we also announce our event program for the second half of the year. We are pleased to announce a colorful variety of virtual and in-person events once again!
As a new feature, we are offering an intensive course entitled “Introduction to Apostolic Church History” on September 13. We will spend a whole day studying apostolic history and invite you to join us at the Brockhagen Archive. Registration is required. We ask for a donation on site to cover the costs incurred.
Invitation to the Apostolic Holiday: 190 Years Since the Setting Apart of the Apostles!
July 14 marks the 190th anniversary of the setting apart of the apostles in London—an event that can be regarded as the actual founding of the Catholic Apostolic communities in the sense of a religious community. The apostolic churches and communities that emerged later and trace their origins back to this tradition can also discover the essential roots of their faith here. Thus, July 14 is probably the most important—albeit long forgotten—holiday of the apostolic denomination family. We will celebrate it with a ceremony at 7:30 p.m. in the Brockhagen Archive.
Caroling in the Archive and concluding the year 2024
