We often say that we believe that God has called us to be an 'apostolic' church; but what does this mean in practice? In the Bible 'apostolic' has to do with those leaders who established and helped a number of churches, training and sending workers. The 'Apostolic Ministry Team' As a group of churches together we recognise a group of leaders known as the ‘Apostolic Ministry Team’. This team provides oversight, training and help for the local leaders and churches (a bit like consultants in a business environment!). Wider links
A number of OCC leaders are also involved in S&L: Steve Thomas leads the Salt and Light European Apostolic Team and often travels giving advice and input to church leaders. Andy O'Connell leads the S&L Administration, serving Steve and EAT. David Freeman, who serves Christian schools linked to the related churches, is also part of this team. Geoff and Mary Norridge lead the S&L Pastoral Training Course. We are also members of the Evangelical Alliance. King's Bible College & Training Centre
