Millions of Christians worldwide long for the return to the first Church. They yearn to walk with the Apostles...and to see things the way they did.Their spirit screams...Where is this First Church? I was one of them.More than a decade in the making, "The Church that Emerged" has it's roots steeped in the Evangelical church growth movement where looking for this first Church runs rampant. I set out to hunt it.This book uncovers the early Church... with it's roots steeped in the Old. The Church is undeniably identifiable. You'll see it clearly.Step by step, the Church comes into view. As each characteristic unfolds, we discover the fulness of the early Church. You'll see it like the first century disciples saw it. You'll discover, like I did, that the first Church was NOT a group of flip-floppin", potlucking, sheepherding desert wanderers. It was a complex and structured society into which Christ spoke....And the once-delivered Church that emerged.
