The first century church adopted a benevolence ministry instantaneously. Early in the book of Acts we are given two descriptions of the church that indicate an emphasis on benevolence (Acts 2:44-45; 4:32, 34-35). In fact, it appears that a benevolent spirit was a predominant characteristic of the early church, and there were two primary ways the first century church administered benevolence. One was through ministries of healing (Acts 3:1-10; 5:16; 9:32-42) and the other through ministries of provision (Acts 6:1-6; 11:27-30). It was through their benevolent ministries that the church offered healing for the hurting and met the physical needs of the less fortunate. As emulators of the first century church the Scenic Hills Church of Christ seeks to do the same.
