Apostolic Christianity

Apostolic Christianity refers to Christian communities that emphasize continuity with the original teachings and practices of the apostles, the early followers of Jesus. These groups often focus on maintaining apostolic traditions, hierarchies, and doctrines believed to have been established directly by the apostles. Examples include Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and some Protestant denominations that uphold the authority of apostolic succession—meaning their leaders trace their spiritual authority back to the apostles. Overall, Apostolic Christianity seeks to preserve the faith and practices believed to have been handed down since the earliest days of the Christian church.
