Cell church

Cell churches can be a wonderful thing.  The key is that the pastor
needs to be aware of what is going on in each one though.  For example
a Pastor friend of mine became comfortable with this one sister that
was holding it in her house.  He stopped checking in on her and before
he knew it she was teaching things that were contrary to the Word of
God.  She had started baptizing people herself which is bad enough but
it was not in the manner that the pastor did.  A lot of conflict
developed and members that attended her cell began questioning the
pastors knowledge and ability.

So if he had kept abreast of the topics and events going on all of this
would have been avoided.

Blessings,
Sister Bonita
