The Cell Group in the Jethro Structure

• Cells never grows larger than 12 members
• When the group reach 7-8 members they
• start training members in cell ministry.
• One of the members is identified as a
• potential Cell Leader.
• Intern is given the opportunity to lead.
• When Cell reaches 12 members the Cell is
• multiplied

Larry Stockstils 7 Principles of G12 Model

• Everyone is a Potential Leader
• Everyone can Disciple 12.
• Everyone is Ministered to, then Ministers.
• Person can only enter your 12 when they open a
  cell.
• Everyone should win souls and develop leaders.
• Homogeneous cells open more rapidly.
• Your 12 are assistants.

S.W.O.T. Analysis
31
S - Strengths W - Weaknesses O -
Oppurtunities T - Threats
32
The Jethro Model

• STRENGTHS
• Better chance of Cell survival
• Good control easier management
• More time for discipleship training
• Simple structure to understand (Clear)
• Good Pastoral (care) structure and communication
• Not time taxing
• Non leaders are not threatened
• Quality leadership
• Promotion path is clear
• Interest target groups can be effective
• Territorial, Focused Defined
• Planned leadership promotion

33
The G12 Model

• STRENGTHS G12
• Evangelism focused
• Weekly Leadership meetings (more personal
  contact)
• Emphasis on new leadership
• Cell planting concept
• Faster growth potential
• M.W.D. (lasting relationships)
• Could be paperless
• Focus on homogenous groups
• Non-geographical

34
The Jethro Model

• WEAKNESSES
• Weak members can hide forever
• Working relationships severed at multiplication
• Geographical boundary emphasis
• Multiple levels create distance between Pastors
  and Cell leaders and members
• Primarily not evangelism focussed (may run out of
  'Type A' contacts)
• Need more full time Pastors
• Slower leadership development
• Some homogenous groups are overlooked

35
The G12 Model

• WEAKNESSES
• Quality of leadership could diminish
• Quality of meetings could diminish
• Monitoring/Care process weakens
• Cell growth/Planting without active Church
  membership
• Enforced relationships (sometimes unwanted fixed
  relationships)
• Time pressures
• Weak leaders in powerful positions
• A sense of loss of control
• Potentially weak Cells

36
The Jethro Model

• OPPORTUNITIES
• Stable Church structure
• Clear Ministry opportunities
• Evangelism (Target groups)

37
The G12 Model

• OPPORTUNITIES
• Rapid church growth
• Cell planting (Homogenous)
• Leadership development
• Evangelism (Target groups)
• Easier to transition from P.B.D.

38
The Jethro Model

• THREATS
• People can become stagnant
• Over reliance on lower levels of leadership
• Create 'maintenance' culture for top level
  leadership
• 'Care' instead of 'Leadership' focused
• Subjective leadership selection

39
The G12 Model

• THREATS
• Proselytising (Between groups Churches)
• Wrong motives used for promotion ('D'
  profile)
• Malign neglect of non performing members
• Possible compromise on leadership appointments
• Imbalance between outward journey and inward care
  of the group
• Burnout (Less personal freedom)
• Family relationships may suffer

40
A Combined Structure The J12 Model
41
The J12 Model

• In some societies having more than one cell
  meeting per week (in the G12 structure) can put a
  lot of pressure onto the leadership.
• For this reason you can decide to combine the
  best of both structures.
• The physical Jethro type structure can remain
  intact i.e. 5 cells per Zone Supervisor forming
  a Sub-Zone. 5 Sub Zones forming a District etc.
  
• Even though the Jethro structure is maintained,
  the following G12 principles apply

42
The J12 Model

• Every member is viewed as a potential leader.
• Emphasis on leadership development.
• Leaders are released more easily to rapidly grow
  new cells.
• Cells multiply at 12 instead of 15.
• Leadership development strategy of the G12
  structure is applied
• Leadership meetings on a monthly basis.
• The level of Zone Pastor does not exist.
• Relationships are maintained

43
The J12 Model

• Senior Pastor has a weekly meeting with Pastors
  (all full time Personnel)
• Pastors have monthly meetings with Zone
  Supervisors
• Zone Supervisors have monthly meetings with their
  Cell Leaders in their Sub-Zones
• Cell Leaders have normal cell meetings with cell
  members and invited visitors.

44
Reasons for success

• Goal Setting
• Team planning
• Organization
• Evangelism
