Subject: cell leader role |
Bible Note: T'oma: I appreciate your input on the "cell" thing. You seem to have considerable knowledge of the subject and know what you're talking about. It overwhelms me to think of a congregation of the proportions you describe. The one may wife and I attend (and are members of) pales by comparison -- some 3,000 membership, about half of whom are regular congregants. Let me ask you, if you will and if you feel your experience qualifies you to speak on the subject, to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the typical mega "cell" churches and to compare them with the corresponding strengths and weaknesses of the typical small to medium "neighborhood" churches. Would you do that for us? There may be readers of the Forum who are torn between making a decision whether to join a big church or a little church. --Hank |
