Harvest Fellowship has small groups which we call Life groups. Some use the word "cell" (as in the cells of the human body) because cells are always multiplying. We meet publicly & in homes, as the early Christians did.
Acts 2:42, 46-47
42 And they
continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the
breaking of bread, and in prayers. 46 So continuing daily with one accord
in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food
with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor
with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were
being saved. (NKJ)
Acts 5:42
42 And daily in
the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching
Jesus as the Christ. (NKJ)
