Building the Glorious Church

Fulfilling the Vision of the Local Apostolic Church

The Bible tells us plainly that the Lord will return for a “glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing” (Ephesians 5:27). In light of this unalterable reality, how should a local assembly be structured to fulfill its God-ordained purpose? Or stated another way, what is God’s plan for oversight and service in His glorious church? This book has been written for all who are interested in learning more about the pattern established in the Bible for local church leadership. Our hope is that those who read it will be stirred to search the Scriptures to confirm for themselves the true biblical pattern and will commit to modeling that pattern in their local assemblies as the Lord Jesus supplies the means.
