What makes a church effective? Is it a functional building? Excellent worship music? A vibrant youth program? A robust teaching ministry? Our answers may vary, the burgeoning church in the book of Acts clearly provides us with seven elements for which every church should strive. In this series, Alistair Begg walks us through these seven marks: the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the sacraments, prayer, mutual care, worship, and continuous evangelism. While no church will ever master all of these elements, they should be the goals to which church leaders guide their people. Is your church on the right course?
