New Apostolic Church Pakistan is working on the ground roots of Christian Community in Pakistan. It has various types of teaching material(but they dont have a proper seminary or theological college ) to upgrade in the divine knowledge of different age groups. To meet this purpose the church has National Level Committees like Sunday School Committee, Confirmation Committee Youth Committee, Music Committee, and Teaching Committee(The Chairman of teaching committee is District Elder Anwar Javed he is serving in New Apostolic Church since 1990 and he also served in the gulf and Europe he is one of the most prominent Rector in the Church as well)It is the only Church in Pakistan whose ministers are not only working in the city areas but also in the remote areas of Punjab, Sindh, and K.P.K provinces united with their International Church Leader, the Chief Apostle, through their District Apostle, their District Apostle Helper, and their Lead Apostle engage their efforts to strengthen the unity in the congregations. It is their heartfelt concern to contribute to the unity of Christianity. The one of the goals (as it was also once again described by the Chief Apostle Jean Luc Schneider) is not to unite all Christians into a single denomination, but rather to create a climate of trust and mutual appreciation where the things that bind us together as Christians are emphasized.
The main goal of the faith is the preparation for the return of Lord Jesus Christ.
