HOLY TRINITY CHURCH

Cell Groups

Over the past four years Holy Trinity has been working towards becoming a cell church. This was following a lead from the Lord to work with small groups of people who would encourage and support each other.

The cell is a small group of people, just like the basic unit of all living creatures; the cell is the basic unit of the church,"a basic Christian community". Each cell group of between 5 and 10 people, forms its own character, but follows the same format as all other groups.

The vision is that just as a healthy human cell should produce life, grow and reproduce, so should the church cell. The values of the cells are: Jesus at the centre, all member ministry, everyone maturing spiritually, and all with a desire to "love" the lost and build a community.

This community of the cell then works together to offer a feeling of security and acceptance for the members, support for each other and the sharing of ideas and vision for the outreach into the local community. This outreach is often in the form of pub lunches, BBQ's, or other such social times, the aim to invite non-church people into a non-threatening environment.
