The roots of Apostles reflect the most ancient of church traditions: small gatherings of like-minded believers spreading the Good News. Founding Pastor Robert Seawell moved his family to the Eastern Shore in 1999 – called to plant a new church. Over the next year a handful of families met in homes and then in storefronts for weekly worship. In 2007, Apostles was gifted 7 acres of undeveloped, forested property. Reclaimed wood from damaged or abandoned buildings was refurbished, as were doors, windows and panels of old heart pine. The restoration of this property serves as a visible sign for the ongoing work of gospel renewal and transformation in the lives of people.
