The Apostle, James, called "the brother of the Lord" might well be considered the first minister of a church. After the dispersion of the apostles, he presided over the new church at Jerusalem shortly after the death of Jesus. The other apostles, including Paul were instrumental in forming Christian congregations in many parts of the ancient world and might also be considered "first ministers" of the congregations they founded.
