nacworld.net — reading what you want

More choice: that is what nacworld.net, the social network of the New Apostolic Church, is offering as of today—and in a double sense to boot. After all, it isn’t just more reading material, but also greater freedom of individual selection. More


Running because they love their neighbour

Their names are Max and Olga. They are 11 and 87 years old, respectively. And they have more than one thing in common: together with other members of their New Apostolic congregation, they participate annually in a campaign that saves human lives. But that’s not all. More


The congregation is no country club!

For the young people—who are in the process of graduating, starting their first jobs, or moving in with their first roommate—this is still a long time.
