THE 
APOSTOLIC PERIOD 
OF THE CHURCH 
c. 29 to 100 AD
c. 29 AD – the death, resurrection and ascension of 
Jesus 
c. 100 AD – The death of the last Apostle, John (at 
Ephesus) 
 This period is called Apostolic because the Apostles 
were alive and preaching during this time 
The primary source for information about this 
period is Acts of the Apostles, considered to be a 
continuation of Luke’s account.
The birth of the Church at Pentecost 
Peter is the first leader of the Church – the first 
Pope 
Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles 
During this time, he wrote Epistles (letters) to teach 
different groups about Jesus
St. Stephen became the first martyr 
- Stephen was one of the first deacons, 
administering to the needs of the community 
- His words angered the Sanhedrin, the Jewish 
counsel 
- He was stoned to death for his faith 
- Acts 6:8-15 and 7:51-60 
- St. Stephen’s feast day is 
December 26
Saul of Tarsus was a Pharisee who persecuted 
Christians until his conversion. 
- He became Paul, and his writings and travel 
were key to spreading the Church
The early Christians were considered a Jewish 
sect (branch) 
- They followed Jewish laws and traditions 
- They did not mix with Gentiles (non-Jews) 
Peter had a vision that let him understand that 
baptism was for all people, not only those born into 
Judaism 
Peter formed a church at Antioch, where the 
disciples are first called Christians 
Paul journeyed to Cyprus, Asia Minor, and all 
around the Mediterranean Sea
The Council of Jerusalem: 
- c. 50 AD – some Jewish Christians thought that Gentile 
Christians should adhere to Jewish traditions. This was 
supported by Barnabus, an early Church leader; Paul 
disagreed. 
- They met with Peter, James, and 
others to discuss the issue 
- At the Council of Jerusalem, it was decided that to be a 
Christian a person needed faith in Jesus and baptism; 
they did not have to adhere to Jewish traditions
In 70 AD, Roman soldiers destroyed the Temple 
at Jerusalem, causing the Christians of Jerusalem 
to flee 
The went to Christian communities in Antioch, 
Corinth and Rome 
During this time, 
Rome became the 
center of Christianity
By 64 AD, the Roman Emperor Nero was 
persecuting Christians 
- Nero turned people against Christians 
- Under Nero, both Peter and Paul were martyred
During the Apostolic period, all of the Apostles 
were martyred, except John 
John preached in Ephesus and wrote 
He was banished to the 
Greek island of Patmos, 
where he died at an old age 
The death of John (c. 100AD) marks the end of the 
Apostolic period
