| Q. How
long ago did your church begin ? |
| A. |
Our Senior Elder was raised in Sherwood and
returned from the Dallas area with a vision from
the Lord to raise up a people from the harvest.
The group began as a Friday night Bible study in
1991 after many received Christ through their
ministry.. As the group began to affect the
lives of their families and those around them in
their workplaces and neighborhoods, the need
grew for the addition of a corporate gathering.
We currently meet corporately on Sundays at
10:00am and bi-weekly in cell group meetings in
the Cabot, Jacksonville, Sherwood and North
Little Rock area. |

| A. |
Just
as in our physical bodies where many cells work
together to bring life, we consider
"cells" to be the most basic
foundation of life. Each "Cell Group"
is a basic unit of life. A "Cell
Church" is a church that seeks to minister
to the world through small groups of people
called "Cells." Each "Cell
Group" is made up of about 10-15 adults and
their families who are committed to helping each
other grow deeper in their relationship with
Jesus Christ. These groups do many of the same
activities as the corporate church. Cell
groups meet weekly for prayer, to encourage each
other, and to participate together in fun
activities. The members of the Cell group share
in life together through committed
relationships. The primary objectives of the
Cell group is to help build the Life of Christ
in each member to develop and release spiritual
gifts, and to make disciples who will take the
responsibility for reaching the world around
them. |

|
| Q. What
is your music like ? |
| A. |
Our
music varies from upbeat, contemporary praise to
quiet, reverent worship. We believe in Psalm 150
worship - a variety of instruments and singers. |
|
|
| Q.
What do you have for the children ? |
| A. |
During the celebration time the children are
served through our Nursery (Infant to 2 years)
pre-school classes (3 to 6 years), and
Children's Church (7 through 11 years). Our
teams lead the children as they share together
through activities and lessons. where they learn
about Jesus from stories in the Word, worship
together, pray for each other, and build
relationships. |
|
|
| Q.
What do you have for adolescents and teens ? |
| A. |
We have two youth cells where teens minister to
one another on today's relational issues.
However, our strong belief is that the primary
responsibility for discipling all children
belongs to the parents of every child and that
the church body comes alongside and compliments
that through ministry. |
|
|
| Q. What
should I wear ? |
| A. |
We
are casual. You'll find a lot more jeans than
ties, and you will almost never find our Pastor
in a tie. Come as you are and be comfortable ! |
