Church Leadership
Myths & Truths of the Cell Church
Author: Joel Comiskey
Most of the modern day cell church movement is dynamic, positive, and applicable. As is true in most endeavours, errors and false assumptions have also cropped up to destroy an otherwise healthy movement.
Sometimes these false concepts caused the church to go astray completely. At other times, they led the pastor and church down a dead-end road of fruitless ministry. Regardless of how the myths were generated, they had a chilling effect on the church’s ministry.
In this book, Joel Comiskey tackles these errors and false assumptions, helping pastors and leaders to untangle the webs of legalism that have crept into the cell church movement. Joel then guides the readers to apply biblical, time-tested principles that will guide them into fruitful cell ministry.
The Relational Way
Author: M Scott Boren
With all the excellent books on small group ministry on the market today, one would think the subject has been covered completely. However, the foundational basis for holistic small group ministry (a highly relational set of values) must be in place before holistic small group ministry will thrive. In this book, Scott Boren does an excellent job dispelling the most common myths about small group ministry.

Equipped to Supervise
Author: Liz West, Trevor Withers
Looking at the cell movement in the UK we have realised that supervision and coaching of cell leaders is essential. If a supervisor is not regularly visiting the cell and coaching the cell leader, the church leaders are working blind. Our booklet, entitled Equipped to Supervise, gives an overview of the role of the cell coach and is full of practical insights. This booklet aims to help equip those who are supporting cell leaders.
Clusters - creative mid-sized missional communities
Authors: Bob Hopkins, Mike Breen
More than 15 years of working with churches seriously committed to cell has convinced Bob Hopkins and Mike Breen that to meet the mission challenge in many situations just cell and celebration is not the whole picture. This book explores why the principles they have observed lead to the conclusion that an intermediate size community of some 25 to 60 people, or clusters of 2 to 7 cells, is so significant. Chapters cover topics such as: Clusters in a Nutshell; Biblical, Historical and Mission Rationale; Introducing Clusters to a Church and freqently asked questions.
