How often do Cells meet?
Formally, Cells normally meet weekly, at a time which suits the majority of the Cell. This is usually a weekday evening, from 7.30 – 9.30 p.m.
Cell members are encouraged to meet together outside the weekly Cell meetings, where more individual pastoral care, support, and discipleship can take place.
There are also social events organised occasionally by each Cell, and sometimes joint events.

How does the Open Worship Service fit in?
Currently this is on a Sunday morning (but it may not be that way forever).
The Main Worship Service is an opportunity for the Cells to come together as a wider fellowship, in exuberant praise and worship, to receive God’s word, and to be encouraged.
It is also another place people can explore spiritually.
Although most come to both, some people come to just cells, some to just Sundays, depending on their work patterns.
Some services are all age family services, but usually there is a Sunday school for 5 – 10 year olds.
Communion/The Lord’s Supper, is part of the Main Worship Service fortnightly, and is shared occasionally together at other times too.
Youth groups/cell also meet at other times – please ask for the current details.

Does each Cell have a leader?
There is a leader, but their role is mainly organising and facilitating the meetings. They may take a bigger pastoral role when a Cell is young, but pastoral care of each other should become the responsibility of the whole group as it matures.
The different elements of the meeting are led by different members of the group.
The whole Cell structure is over-seen by the Pastor.
