WHAT IS A CELL GROUP?
The
cell group is a form of church organization that is used in some
Christian churches. Cell groups are generally intended to personalize Christian
fellowship, and are always used in
cell churches and may also be employed by other forms of organization but with less emphasis. The cell group differs from the
house church in that the group is part of an overall church congregation, whereas the house church is a self-contained congregation.
They may also be called
growth groups,
small group ministries,
home groups,
connect groups,
home friendship groups,
home care groups,
house fellowships or
small Christian communities.
The term "homegroup" is also commonly used in
Twelve-step programs to denote the meeting most frequently attended by the program participant.
