Community Fellowship

RECONCILIATION CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL

Faith. Fellowship. Purpose.

God’s ordained plan for his church is explosive church growth that is a church without walls. (Zechariah 2:1-5, Jeremiah 30:19-20). In the cells of the physical body lies the healthy growth of the body, because it is the replication of the cells that actually grows the body. The cell system is God’s idea of growing and managing an explosive church growth. God inaugurated this system through Jethro as his strategy for managing the church in the wilderness.

But select capable men from all the people — men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain — and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.”(Ex 18:21-23).

From the above scripture, rulers of 10, 50, 100 and 1000 simply connotes a cell structure validating the fact that the cell system was commanded by God. In the same vein, when the New Testament church was born, the cell system came alive immediately. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.

(Acts 2:46). This fact was established severally in the New Testament. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped

OUR MINISTRY

Benefits Of Community Fellowship

The cell has the following four-fold benefits:

Spiritual growth of members

OUR MINISTRY

Spiritual Growth

The system is a platform for accelerated spiritual growth for both the member and the cell leader.

They study and reason the word of god together, each person making his or her own contributions for the benefit and the edification of others.

At the cell centers, we also learn from one another about how to pray. It is also a platform for addressing the spiritual challenges or needs of members.

OUR MINISTRY

Care

One of the greatest advantages of the cell group is that it provides the pastor with a powerful and a dynamic system of pastoral care.

In the cell groups, every member is identified and given adequate attention which would not have been possible in the larger church.

Via the cell system, the spiritual, emotional and physical care are constantly being reviewed and enhanced for adequate attention and covering for the members-acts 6:1-7

OUR MINISTRY

Church Growth

The cell system is a major platform for church growth- acts 2; 47

Evangelism and outreaches at the cell level are personalized 9one on one) the grassroots is touched. Fellow- up is easier because of proximity and converts remain and abide as a result of the spiritual nutrients and care received.

As the cells are growing the main church is also growing.

OUR MINISTRY

Leadership Growth

The cell system provides us with the opportunity to easily identify leadership qualities in our members and also create the platform for their development.

At the cell centers, qualities and potentials are easily identified and this provides for their development and placement in position of responsibility.
