North America

The first New Apostolic families on the North American continent were German immigrants who sought to build new lives for themselves in Chicago. In 1872 Apostle Ferdinand Hoppe, who had been assigned to the region of North America, travelled to the USA and likewise settled in Chicago. The Church’s first building in North America, known as the “First General Apostolic Church in Chicago (Illinois)” is located in Chicago.

Today some 2,400 ministers care for more than 51,000 members in 500 congregations throughout North America. It is from here that the majority of the global missionary activities of the New Apostolic Church are carried out. The continent is home to two New Apostolic District Churches: Canada and the USA.
