Acts 2:42 tells us that the believers in the book of Acts grew in their newfound faith by continuing steadfastly in Doctrine , Fellowship , Breaking of Bread and Prayer . At Faith Apostolic Church we call this the “ 2:42 Model ”. We believe this cornerstone passage of scripture reveals the timeless model for spiritual growth that every Christ should embrace.

Spiritual growth is a priority. For it is only through a commitment to spiritual growth that we experience the fullness of God’s purpose in our lives. Whether we are a brand new Christian or a seasoned veteran of the faith, let us strive for continual growth in God. Acts 2:42 shows us how. It reveals the blueprint that every growth-minded Christian should apply to everyday life.

We believe God has directed our local church to model Acts 2:42 in every facet of life and ministry. We encourage every Christian to be diligent and steadfast in giving meaning time each day to the 4 pillars of discipleship found in the 2:42 model. Those pillars are:

Doctrine - We encourage spending meaningful time each day reading and studying the Word of God. We encourage faithful attendance to church services where the Word of God is taught.

Fellowship - We encourage active involvement in small groups that foster the building of relationships with other believers. We encourage believers to do something each day that nurtures and strengthens fellowship with the Body of Christ.

Breaking of Bread - We encourage regular participation in observing the Lord’s Supper and a daily lifestyle of “communion” with God through daily worship and praise

Prayer - We encourage spending meaningful time each day in prayer.

Our desire is that the “ 2:42 Model ” be more than a motto to say. We want it to be a model to live. Living the “ 2:42 Model ” means applying this timeless blueprint for spiritual growth to our life each day. As the new believers did I Acts 2, we will continue “ steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers .”
