The building of the twenty-first century church must be according to apostolic patterns, and these are accomplished by apostolic teams or "shared leadership". There must be a true plurality of leadership governing the church, with a set man, for the church to be healthy, strong and to accomplish its assigned purpose.

These "shared leaders" are sometimes called eldership or apostolic teams, and they help to birth and establish the apostolic patterns of God in the local church. In this book, you will learn and understand the principles of apostolic teams, their function, ministry and their role in establishing true apostolic church government in a local church.
