New Apostolic Church India

The official page of the New Apostolic Church India The New Apostolic Church is an international Christian church.

The foundation of its teachings is the Holy Scripture. It developed from the Catholic Apostolic Church in 1863 and is led by apostles, just like the first Christian congregations. The New Apostolic Church recognizes three sacraments: Holy Baptism, Holy Sealing, and Holy Communion. Baptism with water is the first and fundamental act of the triune God’s grace upon a human being who believes in Chris

t. Through the act of Holy Sealing, the baptized believer is filled with the Holy Spirit. This occurs through prayer and laying-on of hands of an apostle. The body and blood of Christ are imparted in the sacrament of Holy Communion. The return of Christ to take home His bride is a central component of New Apostolic doctrine. Other significant elements are missionary work and love for one’s fellow human being. The New Apostolic Church emphasizes the personal accountability of its members for their actions. The individual is responsible to God for his behaviour. The gospel of Christ and the system of values inherent in the Ten Commandments provide clear orientation in this respect. The New Apostolic Church is politically neutral and independent. It is financed by the voluntary donations of its members. Nine million Christians around the world currently profess the New Apostolic faith.

HOW GOD CAN BE FOUND

Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19: 11–12

MESSAGE
Let us concentrate on experiencing the proximity of the Lord in the divine service.

SUMMARY
> God comes to us in the sermon, Holy Communion, and the community of believers.

> To experience this, it is important that we prepare ourselves for divine service.

> God strengthens us in divine service by offering us His love and salvation.

SACRED SPACES | SEPTEMBER

This September, our calendar takes us to the Mola Amba congregation in Gujarat.

Mola Amba congregation took root in 2003, when Priest Sonubhai Diva opened his courtyard for the first Divine Services. As the congregation flourished in both faith and attendance, the members sought land for a church building. They even generously donated the land and, in December 2020, began collecting contributions for the church building. Construction of the Church commenced in January 2021.

In March 2021, a requisition was submitted to the church requesting support for the completion of the building. This request was favourably considered, and the project was advanced under the guidance of Apostle Pravin, with oversight from Priest Ashish, who served as the architect. Their long-awaited dream was fulfilled on 1 May 2022, with then District Apostle Helper David Devaraj dedicating the new 150-seat church. It is now a vibrant home to 50–80 devoted members.

BLOG BITES | ARE YOU POINTING TO YOURSELF OR TO CHRIST?

John the Baptist had but one mission: to proclaim the coming of another. That is why Jesus called him the greatest. What, then, does this mean for us today in how we profess our faith?
