You can certaintly look at Acts. It is a marvelous book on the beginning of the church. You can also look at the Corinthian letters to see how the church at Corinth acted, the problems Paul tries to correct for them. You can also look at his other letters. The letters to Timothy and Titus help describe leadership qualifications in the early church. You'll also find a description of some problems in the Ephesus church in the letters to Timothy. Reading the letters are like listening to one end of a phone conversation. You'll only know what was going on in the individual churches by reading what Paul wrote to them about. There are also some extra-biblical material that describe the early church services. One is a letter from Pliny to a Roman Emperor I think.

The Book of Acts was the historical birth of the church. In Revelations Jesus speaks to the churches as it had grown into seven churches about 60 -70 years later.

There is a book that was considered for cannonicy (is that a word?) way back when called "Clement," or something like that. It was rejected because of some doctrinal inaccuracies, but it does have a detailed description of early church services. You can still get it today to read, but I'm not sure where.

Acts incredibly tells appropriate to the commencing up of the Christian church. you additionally can get a feeling of lots of the different issues that surpassed off in lots of the a number of congregations in the early church from the letters (epistles) in the hot testomony. lots of the letters have been written by ability of the apostle Paul to diverse church homes and are his solutions to their questions (even if if we don't understand what all their questions have been).
