Abstract

Small Group Ministry stresses the community spirit through the koinonia of the church members, is in harmony with the vertical belief(the love of God) and the horizontal love(the love for neighbors), and can make the healthy church and healthy members through the balance of service, missionary work and evangelism. And also, it is a ministry to aim a organic community which all members can serve themselves through each gift and participate in independently through the revitalization of the laity. Small Group Ministry is not the newly developed program of current era. Its existence can be already found in the Bible. The most traditional one among various Small Group Ministry in Korean churches is Home Cell Groups, which work around a certain zone and gather with the believers. Cell Church which each gift are utilized forms the true fellowship in itself and aims the church to happen the healing and the miracle as well as to continue the birth of new believers through the most members' spreading the gospel. Home Church is to have the trained the laity stand and makes Small Group Ministry fulfil the church function. If you look at the differences of each Small Groups, first of all, the difference of Home Cell Group and Cell Church is the point, that the Home Cell Group is a kind of closed group to work around a certain area and to gather with the believers, whereas Cell Church is an open group to provide non christian of the open place to meet the christian. Comparing Cell Church and Home Church, both Small Groups have many similar points, but the most different point of them is that Cell Church stresses the evangelism, whereas Home Church stresses the relationship centered community. At a time of requesting a new ministry paradigm for the new era, the 21st century, the recovery of Small Group Ministry is rather to put The Right Church into practice as well as to return the essence of the Bible. The church with Small Group Ministry going well is a healthy church.
