The Book of Acts was written as more than just exciting history. It presents a normative pattern for how to "do" and "be church" now. This seminar will probe the many facets of the Acts pattern, considering how to "do church" as a body which is missionary, teaching/evangelizing, caring, fellowshipping, and worshipping. And it will explore "being church," a suffering, vigorous, and Spirit-filled church. Throughout, the seminar will equip participants to answer the Acts' urgent call to Christians in our day: "Let the Church be the Church!"
