Also from Acts, we learn that, when Paul established churches in other places, he appointed presbyters (more than one) in each place, so one assumes that the same pattern applied there as well.
The same pattern emerges in the New Testament letter, 1 Peter 5, where the elders (plural) are urged to tend the "flock" under their care.

The New Testament churches didn't have any model to follow. The organisational structure of the church developed as the church grew.
It can be seen from the New Testament writings of Paul, Peter that there was a plurality of leadership. It seems elders, bishops, overseers are the same. Deacons on the other hand, were the servants of the church who were probably chiefly concerned with its material affairs, such as finances, etc.
As for the form of the church meeting it appears believers met together to pray Acts 1:14, to sing Eph 5:19, to break bread Acts 20:7, to listen to teaching Acts 20:7
The hierarchical structure in the Christian church can be traced back to the early days of Christianity, where leadership roles were established to maintain order and guide the community. Over time, the church developed a structured hierarchy to oversee various aspects of its operations, such as doctrine, governance, and pastoral care. This hierarchical system helped ensure unity, continuity, and organizational stability within the church.
I have placed a link below for the biography of St. Andrew. Read it and see if some of his ideals can also be used by the Church today.
Yes.

Jesus Christ is the model whom we should follow.
A heliocentric model of the universe. Church believed in a geocentric model.
Copernicus (see link) believes in Heliocentrism (see link), while the early Christians believes in Geocentric model (see link) 'The early Christians believes in Geocentric model.' A.There is not one single proof of this in the entire New Testament. B.There is a suggestion in church history that a very few of the early church fathers may have thought this way. This does not mean that the church taught this as dogma or that the Bible supports it. C.Those who have done detailed research into this area have found that by far the majority actually were Heliocentrists. D. That the Bible uses the 'language of appearance' proves nothing since we use this same reference point today when referring to sunrise and sunset. The Copernican theory of the universe had little effect on Christianity, since Christians are vitally interested in truth, not in clinging to outdated and unscientific theories such as the Ptolemaic system. Copernicus, Keppler, Galileo and then Newton all believed in God as the almighty creator. True Christians, including many of the founders of modern science see themselves as 'thinking God's thoughts after Him' and so are not afraid of discoveries made in the scientific fields. The problem with some sections of Christianity related to both 'church politics' strong personalities and clinging to the old theory by some.
In Christianity, Christ is acknowledged as fully human and fully God. He is the model for Christians because he was/is without sin; he was, in fact, perfect.
type of the intervention model for early chilhood education?

For the Lutherans he is a very good model, other Christians think that he is a rabble-rowser. If you are asking about Martin Luther King Jr. That is an easier answer.
It goes against the ideas of the church
