- Religious Tolerance.org WWW site, July 2, 2004:Cell churches page (the larger organization of clergy, staff, committees, and building structure becomes a federation of cell churches; evangelism, discipleship, and ministry all take place in and through the cell; the Sunday service takes a secondary role; the central church usually has relatively few programs available; rather than being satellite groups affiliated with a central church, they are largely isolated groups who meet together only at area convention; the vast majority of cell churches are affiliated with conservative Christian denominations)

Wikipedia description:
The cell group is a form of church organization that is used in many Christian churches. Cell groups are generally intended to teach the Bible and personalize Christian fellowship. They are always used in cell churches, but also occur in parachurch organizations and other interdenominational settings, where they are usually referred to as Bible study groups. In Methodism, they are known as class meetings and are a means of grace; in Catholicism, they are known as basic ecclesial communities. The cell group differs from the house church in that the group is part of an overall church congregation, whereas the house church is a self-contained congregation.
