Trinity’s Cell Church Model

Impacts the Gl be

The TCC Cell Church Model has gone beyond our shores to many churches around the world. June Teh hears from some of the pastors how God has blessed their church and nation through the model. Pastor Kaloyan Kurdomanov Breakthrough Christian Centre, Bulgaria How did you find out about the TCC Cell Church model? I knew about it through Pastor George Bakalov, who founded our church. He has attended this Cell Conference a few of times and subsequently encouraged me to adopt the model. Before this I was frustrated by the stagnancy of the Church, and I felt that the congregation lacked a sense of belonging and the real understanding of what community life and support was. Church to them was simply a routine every Sunday but with no real interaction and relationships being built. How has this model impacted your church? Initially, people were skeptical and resistant to change. It took time to motivate them to embrace the Cell Church Model. But God answered our prayers. We saw how the community came together through the carecell system. Real relationships were forged and people started praying for one another.There was a hunger to see salvation. Many shared their initial shyness when carecells were first introduced, but as trust developed and bonds were formed, they started opening up to other carecell members and discovered their true identity in Christ.
