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. 

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.

The new and final issue of community for 2025 is ready. It features a colourful mix of impulses, stories, and news from around the New Apostolic world.

‘Mache dich, mein Herz, bereit’ (Prepare yourself, my heart) – a 300-year-old classic. But what rang out shortly before the Pentecost service was anything but outdated: a moving, contemporary piece that took the audience right to the heart of the action.

A small light with great power, a gentle voice with a great impact: District Apostle Michael Deppner from the DRC Congo West spoke about seeing and listening closely during the Pentecost service. Here is the video clip.

The end of confusion and the beginning of understanding … During the Pentecost service, Apostle Helge Mutschler called on the congregation to speak to everyone in their own language. Here is the video.

During the celebration of Holy Communion, Jesus Christ is in the midst of the congregation as the crucified, risen, and returning Lord. What sounds so theological was made tangible by the Chief Apostle on Pentecost.  

A feast that will stay: Pentecost 2025 has left deep impressions and provided an outlook for the future. Here is an overview of everything there is to know.

The decibels just rushed through the rows, but the locally reinforced Youth Celebration Choir could also sing softly. Here is the song “Lord, I stretch my hands to You” from the Pentecost service 2025 to enjoy again and again.

Not power, but love and closeness to others: In the first interview, the Chief Apostle Helper shows how he thinks, feels - and believes.

Pentecost 2025, a divine service that will not be easily forgotten. And here are the memories for the photo album.

Before the real highlight began, the Pentecost service, a video looked back on the events of the 2025 Pentecost gathering thus far, showing clips from the arrival of the Apostles, the concert, and the District Apostle Meeting.

Knowing the truth and living truthfully: this was the call made by the Chief Apostle and his new assistant during the 2025 Pentecost service in Wiesbaden, Germany.

During the Pentecost service, Chief Apostle Jean Luc-Schneider designated his successor: the assignment of Chief Apostle Helper Helge Mutschler in the video.

Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider intends to retire at Pentecost 2026. He announced this during the Pentecost service in 2025, and also named his successor.

No New Apostolic Pentecost gathering has ever seen a concert like this before: the New Apostolic Church Western Germany, who hosted the event, struck a new chord with a combination of music and light, words and movement.

The congregation of Wiesbaden welcomed participants to the 2025 Pentecost Assembly by video—in practically every conceivable language. The clip, which was originally intended for the Chief Apostle and the District Apostles, can now be watched here.
