The first century Church and our local church today, should have ten visible characteristics: Evangelism-sharing the Gospel all the time as a lifestyle, Teaching- spiritual growth as a result of studying the Scriptures, Fellowship-time with one another, Worship-celebrating worship of the Lord, Prayer-time with God, Unity-all things in common, Diversity-all are unique but those differences make them stronger, Plurality-more than one pastor to share the work, Empathy- truly care for each other, Equality-they are the same.
