Apostolic Church of Queensland Victoria Chaplaincy
The objective of an Apostolic Church is to bring
all to the
Grace of Jesus Christ
to reconcile a people again to God, and to be led in childlike faith by the Holy Ghost
to be prepared as a Bride at His return in power and glory which is near at hand.
Worldwide Unity of Apostles of Apostolic Churches
Apostles affiliated with the Worldwide Unity of Apostles of Apostolic Churches labour under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, upholding the restored apostolic ministry and its commitment to building up the body of Christ. United by a shared heritage and a common hope, these communities work together under the care of the Apostles to gather the faithful, strengthen the Church, and prepare God’s people for the return of the Lord.
The Worldwide Unity of Apostles of Apostolic Churches may be understood as a transnational ecclesial fellowship comprising apostolic communities that are theologically and institutionally committed to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and to the continuity of the restored apostolic ministry. These communities, united by a coherent doctrinal heritage and an eschatologically oriented hope in Jesus Christ, function under the recognized pastoral and spiritual oversight of Apostles, whose role is directed toward the edification, consolidation, and expansion of the Church.
Historically grounded in established centres within Europe, most notably in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and France, the movement has, particularly since the late twentieth century, demonstrated a discernible pattern of global diffusion. This expansion has been closely associated with a renewed emphasis on prophetic experience, including dreams, visions, and prophetic articulation, which has served as a catalyst for missionary outreach and ecclesial formation.
Consequently, apostolic communities have been constituted and sustained across diverse regions, including South-East Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, thereby reflecting a structurally interconnected yet culturally adaptive expression of apostolic Christianity. Collectively, these developments exemplify an enduring ecclesiological commitment to the cultivation and strengthening of the body of Christ within a global and pluralistic context.
