Cell groups are small groups that help people to grow in Christ. They are not simply social gatherings that focus on fellowship and refreshments. Cell groups must transform people for them to be effective. In Acts 9:31, house church members were spiritually strengthened and encouraged through the Holy Spirit. Cell group members are also prepared to win others to Christ, disciple, train, equip, and send people out to do the work of the ministry (Mark 16:15-18; Luke 4:18; Ephesians 4:11-12). Vision for Cell Group Ministry by Apostle Alton R. Williams explains the purpose of cell groups, offers a sample format for cell group meetings, and gives job descriptions for cell group leaders and apprentices.
