The Apostolic

The success of the church is not one person or one ministry, it takes many. Jesus Himself left us with an on-going ministry that will accomplish His dream and vision for the church. As such, every congregation needs to be drawing on an anointing from an apostolic center.

The Word of God describes the Apostles and the Prophets as the foundation of the church in Ephesians 2:20. In Ephesians 4:11-13 we see the role of the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher in the equipping of the Saints; a foundation for God’s purpose “apostolically”. The leadership roles of the Apostles, the Prophet, and the Teacher are seen in 1 Corinthians 12:28. The role of the Apostle and the Prophet in today’s Body of Christ is still relevant.

The ‘Apostolic’ is not a set of rules, but a movement. It is a people ministry and a ministry of people. As on the day of Pentecost, the ‘Apostolic’ is defined by the manifestations of Signs, Wonders, and Miracles: an infilling of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, healing of the sick, and even raising of the dead. This is how the Kingdom will grow and become what God wants.

The ‘Apostolic’ is the ‘Anointing’ that God gave to the Apostles and the Prophets. This anointing will allow them to lay Christ into the Spirits of men as “Foundations and Fountains” for the Believer’s lives. If we can sum up the ‘Apostolic Doctrine’ it will be this: it is the message which instills Christ Jesus into every believer, establishing in them a firm foundation of truth and removing ‘self’ from their expression of Kingdom Life, while releasing Divine Authority in their daily living.

The courses here at the Apostolic School of Ministry are designed to further the students understanding of the Five-Fold Ministry and the Offices of the Apostle, the Prophet, the Teacher, the Evangelist, and the Pastor
