Transformasi Misi Perkotaan melalui Pendekatan Jemaat Mula-Mula Implementasi Kelompok Sel Berdasarkan Kisah Para Rasul 2:41-47 Section Articles

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relevance of the life of the early church in
Acts 2:41-47 as a model of urban mission strategy with a cell group
approach. This study uses a hermeneutic method to analyze the Bible text and a library study approach to explore literature related to urban mission, cell groups, and life of the early church. The results of the study indicate that the principles of koinonia (fellowship), diakonia (service), and martyria (witness) applied in the life of the early church can be adapted as an effective mission in big cities. The cell group approach, which is based on personal relationships and spiritual formation, has been proven to be able to reach fragmented urban communities that tend to be isolated from institutional church life. This study identifies that cell groups, with their flexibility and openness to social and spiritual needs, are effective means of building inclusive communities that are responsive to urban social challenges. This study contributes to the development of a more relevant church missional outreach for today's urban communities.
