New Apostolic Church (NAC)

The New Apostolic Church (NAC) is a chiliastic Christian church that splits from the Catholic Apostolic Church during an 1863 schism in Hamburg, Germany.

The church has existed since 1863 in Germany and since 1897 in the Netherlands.

It comes about from the schism in Hamburg in 1863, when it demerges from the Catholic Apostolic Church, which itself had started in the 1830s as a renewal movement in, among others, the Anglican Church and Church of Scotland.

Premillennialism and the Second Coming of Christ are at the forefront of the New Apostolic doctrines.

Most of its doctrines are akin to mainstream Christianity and, especially its liturgy, to Protestantism, whereas its hierarchy and organization can be compared with the Roman Catholic Church.

The New Apostolic Church is neither Protestant nor Catholic

It is a central church in the Irvingian orientation of Christianity.

The church considers itself to be the re-established continuation of the Early Church and that its leaders are the successors of the twelve apostles.

This doctrine resembles Restorationism in some aspects.
