The Origins of the The Apostolic Christian Church (Nazarean) had its beginnings in Switzerland with the preaching of Samuel Heinrich Froelich (1803-1857). As a young seminary student, he heard the call of the Lord. Convicted of his sins, he sought the Lord fervently and with many tears. In his own words, “In this fiery furnace I remained a long time, till at length the eye of faith, centered in Jesus Christ the Crucified, brought me rest and peace and light, and a new creation found room in me”. It was after this dramatic conversion that he completed his ministerial exams and was ordained into the clergy of the Swiss Protestant state church. He was subsequently made the vicar of a small congregation in Leutwil, in the canton Aargau. His preaching was with power and sparked a great awakening—Many from the surrounding churches came to hear his sermons. The church services, previously poorly attended, were now full. |
