What’s the difference between a “cluster” and a housegroup (like we have now)?

Will Cells be simply of people within the church or also from outside?

Would people be allocated to Cells and Clusters or could they form their own?

How would we prevent Clusters becoming cliquish or stagnant? Would they need re-organising from time to time?

How often would Cells and Clusters be expected to meet?

What form of leadership, pastoral care, organisation and oversight would there be for the system as a whole or within the clusters?

If the emphasis is going to be on Cells and Clusters what form will the Congregation take?

How can we ensure that people who’ve grown up with a different approach to church still feel loved and valued in a new system of doing things? The structure itself will not achieve this.
