Christian Life Church is a "cell-based" church. This type of church may seem new, but its origins go back to the earliest days of the Christian Church, where believers met primarily in each others homes.

Much more than a weekly Bible study, the cells create an "extended family" atmosphere. Here, relationships run deep and meaningful friendships are made. As cells meet, there are opportunities to ask questions, to discuss, to laugh, to cry, and to pray with each other in a safe, non-threatening, informal atmosphere.

Here are some principles and scriptures relating to cell ministry.

• Cell Groups are organized as workable units and function as the Church.
  (Ex. 18:21; 1 Corinthians. 16:19; Col. 4:15; Acts 20:8; Ro. 17:5-7)
   
• Cell Groups gather with other cells for weekly Celebration.
  (Heb. 10:23-25)
   
• Cell Groups focus on people, not programs or facilities.
  (Eph. 2:19-22; 1 Peter. 2:5)
   
• Cell Groups allow for intimacy and accountability.
  (Gal. 6: 1; Heb. 3:13; Heb. 10:24)
   
• Cell Groups are a place of prayer.
  (Mt. 18:19-20; Mk.11:17; Eph. 6:18-20; 1 Thess. 5:17)
   
• Cell Groups evangelize and multiply.
  (Mt. 9:35-38; 29:19; John. 4:35)
   
• Cell Groups encourage children's participation in worship.
  (Mt. 19:13-15; Ps. 127:3;Neh. 12:43; 2 Chronicles 20:13)
   
• Cell Groups are empowered by the Spirit to witness and reveal God.
  (Acts 1:8;Eph. 3:10-11)
