We
go back to the future as we follow the trail blazed for us by the New
Testament church. In researching the practice of the early church, our
mindset is both "Back to the Bible" and "Onward with the Spirit"!
Our
desire is to honor the Lord by patterning our churches after the
timeless traditions left by His chosen Apostles. A tremendous blessing
awaits today’s Christians in early church practice.

For over twenty years, the New Testament
Reformation Fellowship has been part of a growing body of believers who
see importance in following New Testament patterns of church practice.
We have taken to heart the evangelical belief that the Bible is our
final authority, not only in matters of faith, but also in what we do as
God's people when we gather together. We see theological significance
in the distinctive traditions of the apostolic church.
