What Is A Cell Group?

• Cell Groups are a ministry structure where nobody has to stand alone.

• They are groups of people (6-16 people) that meet regularly in homes or just about anywhere to pray, seek God, find accountability, look at the Bible and apply it for real life stuff, and fellowship with one another.

• Cell Groups are a place of encouragement and teaching.

• They develop future leaders of new cell groups that will start because there are more people that need a place to belong and find the answer in Christ.

• cell groups are a place of caring, sharing, and bearing one another's hurts, pains, and fears.

• It is a place of healing, love, and forgiveness.

• They are groups that are more than just about the people in them. They reach out to hurting and broken people who need Jesus just as much as the people in the group need Jesus.

• A cell group is where we all need to be.

• Cell Groups help to facilitate evangelism and spiritual growth at First Christian Church through authentic, Christ-centered relationships, and application of Biblical principles to daily life.

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25

"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ if any fellowship with the spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in the spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look, not to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:1-4
