The Five Purposes Of An Apostolic Church

The church apostolic finds its beginning in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. Written by Luke, the beloved physician, Acts chronicles the work of the disciples of Jesus after he ascended into heaven and the work of the church that would begin in Jerusalem. An in depth study of acts reveals five areas of action that the Apostolic Church focused upon.

These five summary areas are Discipleship, Worship, Evangelism, Ministry, and Fellowship. Each purpose carries specific import to the work of the church and allows for believer involvement in various areas.

Discipleship focuses on the education and growth of believers, both new or inexperienced believers and those that are more seasoned or experienced.


Evangelism focuses on the spreading of the Gospel message. It is the purpose that targets unbelievers in an attempt to connect them to the church, fellowship, and a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.


Worship is the programming of our church experiences for maximum benefit and growth in grace and knowledge. Worship seeks to bring the very presence of infinite God and the presence of finite humanity together.


Ministry is the avenue by which believers fulfill commitments of service in various areas of the church. Ministry is the actual personal involvement of believers in the other purposes of the church.

Fellowship is the aspect of an Apostolic church by which believers and seekers come together in groups and get to know each other. It is the purpose that builds relationships among the people of God and creates the family.

Each opportunity listed in this catalog is assigned to one of the purposes of the church. The purposes help to filter activities so that the church can maintain a balance of purpose.
