The cell church provides a conducive environment for the nurturing and equipping of church members to Christian maturity. The small numbers within the cell group provide a safe and non-threatening sphere for spiritual and emotional growth, accountability, support and ministry.

When a believer comes into the church, he will embark on the Disciple Track, which is designed to help chart his spiritual journey within PLMC's vision of fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). To walk this track, he begins his journey with a cell group.

The Disciple Track consists of four phases, encompassing both nurturing and equipping. In a nutshell, the First Steps Phase assimilates the believer into the cell and ensures he is acquainted with the Track, beginning with water baptism. The Cornerstone Phase provides grounding in the essentials of the Christian life and equipping with basic skills to share his faith as he is challenged into the membership of the church. The Disciple Phase explores into more depth faith and ministry courses for effective discipleship. And finally the Leader Phase prepares the cell member to be a cell leader and disciple maker. All phases of the Track can be monitored with the Disciple Log. Plans for continuous Christian growth and further equipping skills are still in the making.
 

Solomon's Mines

The church library, Solomon's Mines, is both an added resource for both cell groups and the congregation at large. Items range from books, video CDs and journals. Our hottest items are the children's books and VCDs. The library is opened every Sunday from 10.30am to 1pm for all to borrow their favourite items or just simply browse in comfort the various books and magazines with soothing background music.

Baptism & Membership Baptism is a public declaration of the repentance of our sins and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. It is an important act whereby the candidate vows obediently to keep God's Holy Will and Commandments and walk in the same all the days of his life.

But while the commitment to be an obedient member is made, the issue of accountability arises. Hence the act of Confirmation allows the Christian to be a member of a Christian community, that is, a local Methodist church in this case, where he can remain a faithful member to support it with his presence, prayers, gifts and service.

As such, all who desire to be baptised and received into the membership of PLMC (including transfer from non-Methodist churches and sister Methodist churches) have to undergo the Baptism & Membership Preparation Classes. The baptism class is conducted every quarter while the membership preparation classes are conducted twice a year. Subsequently, all new members will be channelled into cell groups (if they are not yet in one) to participate with others in the life of the church.
