NEW NAME The following Board letter gives the best explanation of why we changed the name. Here it is: In August, we as the CCS team met with respected consultant Bill Easum. One of the first things Easum pointed out was the need for a name change. He felt that our name was actually hindering our ministry by hiding it. He felt people knew of Joel Comiskey from his books and ministry, but that people didn’t know about Cell Church Solutions. Thus, Easum felt that we had created a barrier for people to find our resources for the worldwide cell church. Joel was reluctant to change the name because he felt it came across as too self-centered. Yet we as the Board don’t feel this is a problem. After much prayer, we decided on the name: Joel Comiskey Group We believe that Joel Comiskey is the most recognized name in North America and beyond concerning the resourcing of cell ministry. We felt this new name would make the site and ministry more recognizable. We will keep the Cell Church Solutions link and simply forward it to the new site (www.joelcomiskeygroup.com ) We believe this is the best move to take Joel’s ministry to the next step. We want to thank you for supporting Joel over the months and years. We believe that the best is still ahead. Sincerely, Dr. Steve Cordle, pastor of Crossroads Church, Pittsburgh, PA. ;http://www.crossroadsumc.org

NEW BLOG We’ll be writing a Monday-Friday blog on different aspects of cell ministry. The new BLOG tab on our web site points the way to this blog. The purpose of the blog is to resource pastors and leaders in cell church ministry. I will write the blog on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Rob Campbell will take Tuesday and Steve Cordle will blog on Thursday. I was lukewarm on the idea of a daily blog UNTIL I understood how easy it was to receive blogs via email. I just signed up for one particular blog I liked and have been receiving this person’s insight each day via email. You can do the same with our blog by signing up for the free email update. Here’s how: When you go the blog for the first time, you’ll notice a box on the right which says Blog Email. Place your email in the box and then you’ll be asked to confirm it. After confirmation, you’ll be good to go. Again, our goal is to resource you on a daily basis in cell ministry. As I’ve been coaching pastors over the years, I’ve become increasingly convinced that the lack of focus is one of the chief obstacles to a successful transition or church plant. This blog will help you stay sharp and focus as you gain insights about cell ministry on a daily basis. And you can even respond with your own comments whenever you like. May the blogging begin! |
