Philip J. Lohr has created a guide for initial formation for building Small Christian Community in which all members are responsible for the success of the group and are called to lead at some point. At the concluding session, the material enables the group to determine how and if it will continue after its initial formation.

This guide assumes a model for cell church in which all members are responsible for the success of the group and are called to lead at some point. It does not require an experienced or designated leader/facilitator. It relies on the simplicity and depth of Scripture as the central focus for sharing, learning, and growing. Scripture is examined at an experiential level that does not require a Scripture scholar or theologian to moderate the group. Questions are designed to accommodate any level of understanding and self-revelation.

The material also includes the group process guidance essential for the formation of a tight-knit group. The group process instructions are brief and simple. The material permits the group to address and review the ground rules for its operation. At the concluding session, the material enables the group to determine how and if it will continue after its initial formation.
