God is establishing his order for the church on the earth in a new way. The early church was birthed by the power of the Holy Spirit and led by apostolic men and women who were related to and appointed by Jesus. These apostolic figures parented local church leaders through relational connections.

Church government is one of the most important aspects of church life, yet unfortunately, it is often one of the most neglected. It is not uncommon for a church to draft a set of bylaws to file with the state to pursue their 403b nonprofit status and never look at them again. But church government is too important to be relegated to an afterthought!
