We believe that the recovery of New Testament church life and practice is possibly the most important issue facing Christians today. When Jesus said,"...I will build my church..." (Matthew 16v18) He had very clear ideas as to how He wanted to do it, and He has actually given us the blueprint for this through the ongoing work and teaching of His apostles, as recorded in the pages of the New Testament.
We recommend that each section of what follows be read in the order in which it appears as it constitutes a logical sequence, with each part building on what has gone before.

We firstly demonstrate that the apostles of Jesus, at His direction, established and set up churches to function and operate in a particular way. Further, it is shown that this pattern, or blueprint, was intended to be universal, and that all churches should be fundamentally the same when it comes to how they meet and are organised.

We then proceed to address the reasons as to why churches are so different from the biblical pattern, and examine the historical influences which actually overruled the teaching of the New Testament and became the Christian Church’s ultimate authority. We believe that the ground we cover here will truly amaze you!
