What
are cell Groups?
Cells smallest unit in the body.
All the parts of each cell work together to grow, maintainhealth and make more
cells.
At
ENCF, our members will get together in small groups
to pray for one another, worship, learn God’s
Word; share their needs and support each other.
This is more than just a Bible study.
Our cell groups will be a place to fellowship and build relationships.
Why
have a cell group ministry?
It is scriptural:
Throughout the book of Acts
and other NT Books, they met from house to
house; they taught in homes; gathered in homes
to pray; they had church in homes. Acts 1:12-14;
2:1-4 - Pouring out of the Holy Spirit in the
upper room, Day of Pentecost.
- Acts 2:46 - Apostles and
believers met from house to house.
- Acts 5:41, 42 -Peter and
other apostles taught in homes.
- Acts 8:3 - Saul entered
believers’ houses to destroy the church.
- Acts 10:22-24 - Peter shared
Christ with Cornelius and his close friends
and relatives in Cornelius’ home.
- Acts 12:12 - Believers
gathered in a home to pray for Peter when
he was imprisoned.
- Acts 18:7,8 - Ministry
took place in Justus’ house.
- Acts 20:20 - Paul taught
from house to house while in Ephesus.
- Acts 28:30-31 - Paul preached
while confined under house arrest in Rome.
- Romans 16:3-5; 1 Corinthians
16:19 - There was a house church in the home
of Aquila and Priscilla.
- Colossians 4:15 - There
was also a church in Nymphas’ home.

Cell groups are a place
for people to get their needs met.
It provides an opportunity
for believers to grow in their faith and
to be involved in the work of the ministry.
- Eph. 4:11-12 The Pastor's
job is to equip the saints for the work of
the ministry.
- The Saints job is to do
the work of the ministry
The end-time harvest: Matthew
9:37 - Harvest is plenteous, but the laborers
are few.
- It helps us to fulfill
the vision of our Pastor. “I’m
not asking you to win the world, just one
a month.” PJ
