Church Model

Modelling New Testament Christianity

The New Testament (Apostolic) Church model is based on four simple keys;

1. Evangelise

They preached the message and gathered the converts into local churches.

2. Establish

They grounded new believers in the essentials of the faith.

3. Equip

They appointed and equipped Godly leaders to guide and teach the church.

4. Expand

Churches sent others to preach the message and to start new churches.
