Welcome to The Center for
New Testament Church Development
(Find out who we are praying for in your city)

Our mission is to plant and develop 21st century churches that reflect the values and structure of the first century church. 

We believe that the Kingdom Mandate is the primary mission of the church (Genesis 1:28; Matthew 28:19-28) and that every church should reflect the five key values found in the Word of God. They are: (1) The Lordship of Jesus Christ, (2) The Priesthood of every believer, (3) The acts of gifts of the Holy Spirit, (4) spiritual and numerical growth through covenant relationships, and (5) not allowing anyone among us to lack.

The Center for New Testament Church Development promotes an operational structure that reflects the church in the first century. In scripture, the believers gathered in homes (1Corinthians 16:19; Colossians 4:15). The church was identified by the city or region where it was located, not denominational distinctions (1Corinthians 1:2; Galatians 1:2). The churches were governed by a plurality of elders rather than a sole pastor  (Acts 14:23; Titus 1:5) and believers were developed for ministry by the five-fold ministry gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (Ephesians 4:11-12).

WE ARE PRAYING TO FIND A SPECIFIC PERSON IN EVERY CITY IN THIS REGION!

God has given us a mandate to plant regional churches that reflect the values and the structure of the first century church.

We are praying and trusting God to connect us with 120 or more believers who desire to expand the Kingdom of God in this region and beyond!

Is God speaking to you?

You may be like many who believe that God is doing something new in the earth, but you are not sure how to pursue what you sense in your spirit. 

Prayerfully this site will provide you with answers to the questions you may have. In addition you will have an opportunity to pursue involvement in the glorious church of our Lord Jesus Christ. Click here to learn more...

This is The New Testament Church

The New Testament Church is an assembly of believers, committed to the Kingdom Mandate, who gather one or more times each week under the Headship of Jesus Christ; who are submitted to each other in love; who support each other’s ongoing work of being and making disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ; who edify, exhort and comfort one another; who submit and relate to elders, ministry gifts and apostolic leaders; who participate in planting and supporting new assemblies of believers to do the same with their prayers, time, finances and material resources.
