A global partnership of churches devoted to Jesus, equipping saints and advancing the Kingdom according to the New Testament pattern.
Jesus gave His life for His bride, and we lay down ours to serve Him. God has chosen the church to display His manifold wisdom to this world (Ephesians 3:10). This is why we need healthy churches built according to the New Testament pattern, where every saint plays their part to advance God's Kingdom.
We take our cue from Ephesians 4:12, which tells us Jesus gave gifts "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." We are a field of churches partnering across 24 nations to Equip, Restore, and Advance the church Jesus is building.
Our mission is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to restore biblical patterns of church life, and to advance the Kingdom of God in the nations.
We equip believers with sound biblical teaching, practical resources, and relational mentoring so every saint can fulfill their calling and build up the body of Christ.
We long to see the New Testament pattern of church life restored — apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers working together to bring maturity to the body.
We advance the Kingdom by planting healthy churches, supporting mission endeavours, and mobilizing believers to take the gospel to unreached peoples and places.
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-12What would become Four12 began with a conviction that the church needed to return to apostolic foundations. A small community committed to prayer, the Word, and one another laid the groundwork.
As the movement grew, churches across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas began partnering together. Conferences, training initiatives, and shared resources multiplied the impact.
Today, Four12 partners with over 250 churches across 24+ nations. Through digital platforms, annual conferences, and relational networks we continue to equip leaders and strengthen local churches.
We believe God is building His church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. We press forward with faith, expecting to see His Kingdom advance in every nation.
These convictions shape who we are and how we serve the body of Christ.
The Authority of Scripture
We hold the Bible as God's inspired, inerrant Word — the final authority for faith and practice. All our teaching and ministry flows from Scripture.
The Centrality of Jesus
Jesus Christ is the head of the church. Everything we do is centred on Him — His person, His work, and His ongoing mission through His body.
Apostolic Foundations
We believe in the ongoing ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers as described in Ephesians 4, given to build up the body of Christ.
The Local Church
The local church is the pillar and ground of truth. We are committed to seeing healthy, biblical churches planted and strengthened in every community.
The Great Commission
We are compelled by Christ's command to go and make disciples of all nations. Mission is not optional — it is the heartbeat of the church.
The Power of the Spirit
We depend on the Holy Spirit for power, guidance, and the gifts He distributes to every believer for the common good and the advance of God's Kingdom.
The Four12 apostolic leadership team
Four12 is a global family of churches partnering together to equip the saints, restore biblical church life, and advance the Kingdom of God. Our name comes from Ephesians 4:12 which speaks of equipping the saints for the work of ministry.
We welcome churches who share our heart for biblical church life and the Great Commission. Reach out through our contact page to begin a conversation about partnership. We believe in relational connection, not institutional membership.
Four12 is not a denomination. We are an apostolic movement — a relational network of churches that partner voluntarily under apostolic leadership. Each local church is autonomous and led by its own eldership team.
The majority of our teaching resources — sermons, articles, and video series — are available for free online. Some printed materials and event tickets may carry a cost to cover production expenses.
