Cell Church

We are a cell based church that believes the best way to experience New Testament Christianity is through both the large worship experience as well as small church community. 

We have a number of cell groups that are from 4-15 people each that meet in various homes both in the City of Binghamton and other areas of Broome County.  We believe the cell is the key to personal growth in Christ as well as expansion to meet the needs of our community.

Our goal is for cell groups to become the basis for every ministry in the church.

  • If there is a need of a church member or his family member, it is the cell group that responds to that need.
  • That all teaching and any "Big Church" (Celebration) programming be linked in order to equip or enhance our "Small Church" (Cell) goals.
  • Much of the day to day counseling is done by cell leaders.  Only when serious concerns arise does a staff pastor do counseling.
  • Serving the communion meal would primarily be served in cell, given by the cell pastor.  Cell pastors would also baptize their new converts.
  • Get everyone communicating the larger vision of the whole church within the cell.
  • Every cell to be involved in servant outreach ministries to the unchurched to build bridges into the community.
  • Acts 5:42, All business of the early church, spiritual or otherwise was taken care of in these meetings. Paul's letters were read not only in the temple, but also in the homes where the Church met.

Our goal for each individual is to be actively in the cell life of the Church.

  • To communicate to each believer a strong sense of urgency for those who don't yet know Christ.
  • That every person in the Body understand that they have a purpose.  Their purpose is to lead others to Jesus Christ.  They will never be fulfilled unless they are living out of their purpose.  Since there is no promise of tomorrow, there is an urgency to fulfill my purpose today.
  • Help each person discover their spiritual gifts and talents in the cell environment to fulfill that purpose.
  • Train and retrain to equip the masses.  Every person is seen as a potential leader.

Our goal is multiplication.

  • That every cell multiply every 8 to 12 months.
  • To be a Church without walls.  Not dependant on facilities, but on our cells, or relationships.
  • That the church reach the masses.  We are called to reach the thousands as seen in the New Testament.
  • To become so important to our community that if we ceased to exist tomorrow we would be sorely missed.
