A place to be cared for. A place to care for others. A cell is a group of 5-10 people who meet weekly or bi-weekly. Their coming together creates “community”. In that community, people learn to care for one another in a safe atmosphere and to deepen their relationship with the living God.

In a cell, people take time to worship, discuss the past Sunday’s message, apply its principles to their lives and they take time to get to know each other. They will also invite others to share in their community. It is that way they did it in the New Testament of the Bible, and we believe it is the way we are to be as a church today.

FAQ

What are Cells?

Cells are small home based groups that meet weekly to help people grow spiritually through study, sharing and praying together. They are certainly much more than just a Bible study group.

Each group has a leader and a host/hostess. The leader provides direction for the group and ensures the group remains in sync with cell group activities within the Church and the host provides a private home in which the group meets. All groups are open to newcomers.

Why Have Them?

Cells are the way in which people can meet with each other in one person’s home, share what is happening in their lives, pray, learn with and from one another, and study the bible.

Cells complement Sunday services. Sometimes the study topics connect with the previous Sunday’s sermon.

Cells are places of personal growth. They help to involve every member of the church in ministry. They can be means of facilitating the church’s mission, reaching out to new people.

What is the Vision?

To win souls and make disciples.

Our Goal is for everyone to be a harvest worker.

Our Process is to take people from a decision for Christ, to a discipled believer that has become a harvest worker.

Why the term “cells”?

The term cell speaks of the human body part that, multiplies and provides growth. Similarly, the body of Christ grows through cell multiplication.

Do I have to become a leader?

No. However, we see every cell member as a potential leader. We realize the timing of that leadership role varies with each individual and that not eveyone will become a leader.

How are cell leaders qualified?

We provide through our School of Leaders. The steps to become a leader include: church membership, cell attendance, attending an encounter weekend and participating in the 3 semester School of Leaders.

To bring unity to the body, to help new believers understand and to apply the word to our everyday lives.

How do groups multiply?

A cell multiplies when members of the cell catch the vision, take the training and are commissioned by the church as cell leaders.
