Jerusalem is often called “the Mother Church” because the earliest community of Jesus’ followers emerged there. According to Acts, after the resurrection of Jesus, the apostles remained in Jerusalem, where the Holy Spirit was received at Pentecost and the first organized community of believers took shape (Acts 1–2). This community remained deeply rooted in its Jewish setting: believers prayed, gathered together, remembered the teaching of Jesus, and continued to participate in the life of the Temple (Acts 2:42–47; 3:1). Jerusalem also became the place where major questions facing the expanding movement were addressed, most notably at the Jerusalem Council around AD 49 (Acts 15). Early leadership was associated first with Peter and the apostles and increasingly with James the Just, the brother of Jesus, who became a central figure in the Jerusalem church. From this mother community the message concerning Jesus spread outward—to Judea, Samaria, Antioch, and eventually throughout the Roman and Eastern worlds—making Jerusalem the historical and spiritual starting point from which the early Church expanded.
