The Reformation Rising: What Churches Leaning Into Kingdom Blueprint Are Actually Doing

The ground is shifting beneath our feet.

While much of the institutional church remains locked in strategic planning sessions about “post-pandemic recovery,” a different conversation is happening in living rooms, coffee shops, and apostolic networks around the world. Leaders aren’t asking how to get back to 2019. They’re asking what it would look like to get back to Acts 2.

This isn’t theoretical theology or wishful thinking. These are seasoned leaders, functioning apostolic networks, and emerging pioneers who’ve decided that minor adjustments to outdated models won’t cut it. They’re not tweaking the machine—they’re returning to the blueprint.

And what they’re building is gaining momentum.

From the Sunshine Coast, Australia, where I live, to Seoul, Korea, from marketplace hubs in Singapore to house church networks in South America, something is rising. It doesn’t have a single brand or a celebrity spokesperson. It doesn’t have a headquarters or a franchise model. But it has the unmistakable marks of Holy Spirit movement: rapid multiplication, supernatural demonstration, cross-generational engagement, and leaders who care more about kingdom advancement than institutional preservation.

This edition pulls back the curtain on what’s actually happening in churches and ministries leaning into biblical reformation. Not what they’re talking about doing. What they’re actually doing. The structural shifts, the practical systems, the bold experiments, the costly decisions, and the fruit they’re seeing.

Because while some are still debating whether reformation is necessary, others are already building it.

Let’s look at what’s really happening on the ground.

The Reformation Mindset: Starting Questions

The churches and ministries leaning into reformation aren’t beginning with attendance metrics or engagement strategies. They’re starting with foundational questions:

• What did Jesus actually establish, and what did we add later?

• What does Ephesians 4 equipping actually look like in practice?

• How do we release the priesthood of all believers instead of just teaching about it?

• What would it mean to measure kingdom advancement instead of institutional growth?

• How do we train people for their Monday mission, not just Sunday attendance?

These questions lead to fundamentally different practices.

What We’re Actually Seeing

Ekklesia Over Event

Reformation-minded churches are restructuring around the biblical concept of ekklesia—a called-out assembly with governmental authority, not a religious gathering.

One apostolic network I’m aware of has transitioned from Sunday-centric programming to what they call “kingdom hubs”—gatherings organized around specific spheres of influence (business, education, healthcare, arts) where believers in those fields receive equipping, prophetic direction, and apostolic covering to advance the kingdom in their domains.

Their “Sunday gathering” still exists, but it’s explicitly framed as corporate worship and celebration of what’s happening in the field, not the main event. The main event is Monday through Saturday kingdom deployment.

Fivefold Function Over Singular Leadership

Rather than the CEO-pastor model, reformation churches are activating genuine fivefold teams. This isn’t just having different titles on a staff page—it’s restructuring decision-making, teaching, and oversight around the distinct functions of apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers.
