What is a Cell Group?

A cell-group is a group of about twelve believers who come together once a week in a designated meeting place, to encourage one another in faith, prayer, understanding Biblical principles, and evangelizing others.

Purpose of Cell Groups

The 2-fold purpose of a cell is:

  • Discipling: To spur one another to grow in faith and in following Christ.
  • Evangelism: To reach new lives for Jesus.

As a cell disciples and evangelizes, it helps cell members to grow in ministering to others.

Biblical Basis for A Cell-Based Church

  • Jesus used a small group strategy – Mark 3:14 15
  • The Early Church met in small groups - Acts 2:46-47, Acts 5:42 , Romans 16:3.
  • The small group is the building block of the New Testament Church.

No one has all the gifts., so we need one another. - both to grow ourselves and to be His witnesses in the world.

The cell is there to surround you with prayer, keep you accountable in following Christ, and be a support to you during difficult and trying times. In addition, your cell group is the best place to help you to discover your spiritual gifts, and teach you how to practically minister to people using those gifts
