The church probably was mostly formed through [[Gentile]] converts - [[Colossians 1:27]]
: ''{{web_verse|colossians|1|27]]}}
[[Tychicus]] was the bearer of the letter, as he was also of that to the [[Ephesians]] and to [[Epistle to Philemon|Philemon]], and he would tell them of the state of the apostle ([[Colossians 4]]:7-9). After friendly greetings (10-14), Paul bids them to interchange this letter with the one that he had sent to the neighbouring Laodicean Church. (The apocryphal Epistle to the Laodiceans is generally believed to be a forgery based on this instruction)
