Lively, diverse, and reflecting local traditions: that is how the congregations of the New Apostolic Church can be described. The photos of the year on nac.today testify to this. 

Three new District Apostles in the same year? Nothing like that has happened in quite a while. More on this and other things that occurred on the international leadership level during the year 2025. 

Music is very popular in the New Apostolic Church. But in 2025, a particular announcement from the altar made it into the top three most frequently viewed videos on nac.today.

This past Pentecost, Chief Apostle Schneider made the promise to be a helper, namely to the very man he went on to appoint as his own Helper—and thereby designate as his successor. A closer look at the biggest news of the year 2025.

Advent admonishes us that God’s plan is moving forward, and that we must not sleep in faith. It is time to check on our spiritual development! 

The Chief Apostle is almost cheerful as he faces the camera, delivering his New Year’s address. He is on his home stretch, and this is his last address. Observations from twelve years.

True hope purifies, provides guidance, and leads us closer to Christ. With step-by-step instructions, the Chief Apostle explains how sanctification works.

Those who take an interest in the gospel discover the love of Jesus, which carries us through all challenges. If we follow Him, His love will free us from fear and unite us.

Defenceless among predators: such is the situation of Christians. And this is how Christ Himself described it. But He also shows us the way through and out.

“We ask for blessing and hope.” These were the Chief Apostle’s farewell words in Gqeberha in 2015. Now he is coming back for another visit, and there is excitement everywhere. 

Everything old is no longer valid! God’s message breaks with tradition and challenges us. Those who dare can recognise the radical newness of the gospel. 

Those who walk with the Lord do not walk alone. That is the message of the song “When We Walk with the Lord” performed here at the retirement of District Apostle Mark Woll (Canada).   

Here is an invitation to marvel. Thanking God also means being careful with His gifts and treating them with due respect—health, family, nature, and eternal life. 

Providing pastoral care is part of the mission of the New Apostolic Church. But how does this work in practice in different cultures? The District Apostles discussed this subject.

Those who take on responsibilities in the Church must balance family and ministry. The commitment to family is just as sacred. Here is an explanation by the Chief Apostle.

“This will not be to everyone’s liking,” the Chief Apostle said at the beginning of the divine service. Here is why Christians can and must be open about their faith today.

What kind of subjects are addressed in a divine service for ministers? Well, here it was about 250 kilos of silver—but differently than one might think. The sermon was not a presentation about positive financial results but took a close look at faithfulness. For anyone wishing to hear it: it’s encouraging.

“The man with the big heart.” His heart was at home everywhere. District Apostle Helper Frank Dzur (Canada) has retired. His life was one of dedication, loyalty, kindness, and benevolence.
