Apostolic Church Australia

Within the Pentecostal movement, there are many denominations or families of churches which have arisen and the Apostolic Church is one of these. It began in 1916 from ministry which had flowed on from the Welsh Revival in 1904-5 and now has churches in over 40 countries. The Apostolic Church in Australia began in 1930.In some ways the Apostolic Church isn't different at all from other denominations. It holds to all the early creeds of historic Christianity and is in perfect harmony with orthodox Christian doctrine. It is also in agreement with most other Pentecostal Churches. Like them, it believes worship should be vibrant, and that God's supernatural power is available for all Christians for daily living. The major area of difference is in organisation. The Apostolic Church has attempted to follow what they see as the Biblical pattern of church government as recorded in the book of Acts. Accordingly, the church is governed by a Council of senior ministers, who are responsible for the continued wellbeing and growth of the people and churches in the denomination. This has meant that the church has been able to do things as a united national body, such as sending out missionaries to such diverse places as Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Philippines, Indonesia, East Timor and China and at the same time encourage each local congregation to become fully involved in its own local community.

Locally

The Palmerston Apostolic Church began initially as an Outreach from the Darwin Apostolic Fellowship. On the 6th of February 2000 it became a church in its own right. We have recently moved into our new building, which is Phase One of our intended community centre.

The church is led by Jessica Barrett as Senior Pastor and David Barrett as Associate Pastor.
