What is a Cell Group?

“A Cell Group within the church is a voluntary, intentional gathering of three to twelve people regularly meeting together with the shared goal of mutual Christian edification, fellowship, and outreach.”

What is expected?

• Commit to make attendance at Cell meetings a priority
• Commit to participate in the activities and discussions
• Commit to respect the opinions of others
• Commit to keep group discussions confidential
• Commit to the care and support of the members of my Cell Group
• Commit to being accountable to others

The Biblical Mandate:

• Jesus began His earthly ministry by establishing His cell group, the disciples.
• Jesus was actively involved in both large and small group ministry contexts.
• We see that Jesus’ ministry to large groups was preceded by and proceeded out of His small group context.
• It was the small group that provided the platform for Jesus’ ministry to large groups of people.
• Jesus spent the majority of His time with His small group of disciples.
• For Jesus, relationships, not organizations, were his central focus.
• Jesus used the small gatherings of people to teach and model spiritual knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and to train leaders.
• His goal was to equip the disciples to carry on the work of the gospel after He returned to the Father.
