• In a cell church, life takes place in the cell groups
• The senior pastor or church leadership lives out and supports the cell vision
• The leadership structure and support are based on cell group leaders
• The cell groups give everyone the opportunity to discover and exercise their gifts

Difference from a church with cells

• Leadership remains only in the leadership circle
• Cells are just another program (often optional)
• The church and most ministries are inward-focused
• Departments work independently of each other and do not communicate with each other
• Often lack a clear, shared biblical vision
• 10% do the work, 90% watch (clergy and laity)
• Reaching outsiders and discipleship play hardly any role
• Training of leaders is neglected because everything is in the hands of one or a few
