Does it matter how we relate with the broader church of God? If so, how should we? In this video Andrew Selley gives a fresh take on how churches partnered together in the New Testament.

What is Four12?
Andrew Selley • Ephesians 4:12
Hungry to be a part of a healthy church? Check out this short clip by Andrew Selley explaining our journey as a movement, and answering where Four12 came from and what we are about. Four12 is a global partnership of churches longing to live out Authentic New Testament Christianity and working together to Equip, Restore and Advance the church that Jesus Himself is building. “God has called us to empower the church to become a kingdom of priests, to follow a biblical pattern when building church and to equip the saints for the work of ministry (Eph 4:12).” – Andrew Selley
The Role of the Apostolic
Andrew Selley
Have you ever wondered what the role of the Apostle is? In this video Andrew brings greater clarity to the role of the apostolic in the life of the local church. Among other things, the apostolic brings us into the big vision of God and we begin to see that not only are we impacting our neighbourhoods but we begin to come into God’s visions for the nations of the world!
Practical Points for Partnering
Andrew Selley • Philippians 1:4–5, Ephesians 4:11–12
The church in Philippi is perhaps the best example of a local church partnering well with Ephesians 4 gifts. Paul says of them, "In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." (Philippians 1:4,5) In this clip, Andrew unpacks how local churches can partner in a variety of very practical and meaningful ways.
