MISSION AND PROGRAMS

Mission

The Aquarian Tabernacle Church (ATC) was formed in 1979 by Pete "Pathfinder" Davis as a coven dedicated to providing religious services and support to the larger Wiccan community. The ATC was "the right idea at the right time," and in a few years grew into the first Wiccan church with full legal status and recognition by the governments of three nations. The ATC now has many affiliated groups sharing the benefits and protections of the ATC recognition "umbrella" through its unique group exemption from the U.S. Treasury.

Programs

The Aquarian Tabernacle Church is the founding organization of the Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary. The thrust of the Seminary is toward the professionalization of Wiccan clergy, to prepare students for service to their communities as skilled and competent ministers of their faith. While it is principally focused on the ATC Wiccan tradition, it is open to students following other Pagan and Wiccan traditions. The ATC is also the source of the SpiralScouts program. The purpose of SpiralScouts is to provide an opportunity for Pagan families to interact with their children, for Pagan children to interact with each other, to instill in our children the concepts of inclusivity, the balance of gender energies, tolerance for differences of belief and other useful cultural customs and values, the Pagan worldview, and to promote the growth and development of interpersonal skills and life skills in these children.
