Our alignment

2010-08-24

Oslokirken belongs to the Pentecostal Revival, which is the world's most expansive Christian movement today. We are also regarded as a part of the New Apostolic Reformation. Our pastor Jan-Aage Torp works closely with apostle John P. Kelly, who leads the International Coalition of Apostles (ICA). 

Dr. C. Peter Wagner, who is one of Jan-Aage Torp's spiritual fathers, writes about the apostolic work today: "The New Apostolic Reformation is an extraordinary work of God that began at the close of the twentieth century, which is, to a significant extent, changing the shape of Protestant Christianity around the world. For almost 500 years Christian churches have largely functioned within traditional denominational structures of one kind or another. Particularly from the 1990s, but with roots going back for almost a century, new forms and operational procedures began to emerge in areas such as local church government, interchurch relationships, financing, evangelism, missions, prayer, leadership selection and training, the role of supernatural power, worship and other important aspects of church life. Some of these changes are being seen within denominations themselves, but for the most part they are taking the form of loosely structured apostolic networks. In virtually every region of the world, these new apostolic churches constitute the fastest growing segment".
