6 mar 2024 · Currently, several churches have cell groups. However, Dr. Joel Comiskey, who researched and wrote about cell churches in 2000, discovered most churches that have them and are succeeding are in Korea. Cho’s Yoido Full Gospel had 25,000 cell groups and 250,000 in worship attendance as of 2000.
If you can consistently follow a list of things and do them weekly, you are bound to make that happen. Every person can learn this art of growing and multiplying cell groups from scratch. I have had an opportunity to grow and multiply about 5 cell groups in our church. What does that mean?
The cell church strategy is not a quick growth strategy, but rather, a biblical one. Cell groups provide the environment to form disciples. In certain receptive areas around the world, multiplication happens rapidly because people are coming to Christ, being trained, and starting new cells.
1. Pray throughout. From when you decide to host a group till when it begins officially, pray throughout. Leading a cell group is a spiritual exercise which calls for spiritual effort and measures. Prayer is the master key which solidifies what you are starting. Bible says the strong man needs to be bound first.
The cell church is based on members meeting in small groups and then coming together weekly to praise and worship as a congregation. The small group or cell group component enables the presence of Christ to be manifested in relationships of caring Christians.
I mentioned how cell-based churches today are models of rapid church growth and how that almost half of the 50 largest churches in the world today are cell-based. One chapter was dedicated to exploring how small groups evangelize.
The cell group can be a bridge to the local church. New believers will naturally want to attend church with their friends. In fact, church volunteers and Christian faculty can lead cell groups on campus or in homes.
