small groups
"A cell group is actually the church in its simplest form. It provides the opportunity to experience church life as the Lord intended. The nature of a small group fellowship in homes makes worship, discipleship, fellowship and relationship evangelism a matter of Christian lifestyle not church program. It equips and releases the Christian believer for the work of the ministry that God has gifted and called each one to do."
- Terry Kirschman, Lead Pastor
The Scriptural Mandate
- Cultivating Friendship With God
- "...'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' And he was called a friend of God.'" James 2:23.
- "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known to you." John 15:14-15.
- Building Friendships With One Another
- "A friend loves at all times. And a brother is born for adversity."� Proverbs 17:17.
- "Ointment and perfume delight the heart, and the sweetness of a man's friend gives delight of hearty counsel." Proverbs 27:9.
- Reaching Out in Friendship to the World
- Jesus, "... a friend of publicans and sinners." Luke 7:34.
- "Now all things are of God who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world until Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation." 2 Corinthians 5:18-19.
