Apostolic Churches are Christian denominations that emphasize the teachings and practices of the apostles, the early followers of Jesus Christ. They often focus on the importance of the New Testament and the belief in the continuation of the apostolic tradition through modern-day leaders. These churches typically practice baptism and communion, viewing them as essential sacraments. Many Apostolic Churches also believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and healing, which they see as vital for spiritual growth and community life.
