  Abstract:  The Teaching on Church – as Organ of Salvation and Sacramental Hierarchy in the Apostolic Fathers’ Writings.In the Church of the firsts centuries’ there were not any controversy regarding the teaching on Church or priesthood.In the greek patristic literature there are not systematic treaties on ecclesiology.The mistery of Church has been unterstand by Holly Fathers as comprised in the mistery of Christ. The teaching of Church exposed in Apostolic Fathers’ writings – having as starting point the pauline conception – atests its divine origin,its theandric nature and dogmatic features,the unitary organization of the seen Church and the existence of the sacramental hierarchy of Church,constituting a solid foundament for Orthodox ecclesiology. The central chapter of the teaching on Church of Apostolic Fathers is Church’s hierarchy and its constituting in eucharistic synaxis,presided by bishops and presbiters. The protestant opinion regarding the leading role of the charismatics,the exclusively administrative atributions of clergy and the ecclesiologic pluralism are groundless.
