Amanzimtoti Christian Centre's Home Cell Groups run once a week on a Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 9pm.
We are a cell church that patterns itself according to the early church found in Acts 2:42 -47
The Fellowship of the Believers
Ac 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Ac 2:43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.
Ac 2:44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.
Ac 2:45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
Ac 2:46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
Ac 2:47 Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
