FCBC is transitioning into the G12 model
with effect from 2002 starting with Senior Pastor mentoring
his 12 and leading a cascade of these relationships. For
starters, our previous districts have been re-organised
into broadly three Networks, namely, the Men’s Network,
the Women’s Network and the Youth Network. In so
doing, members will no longer be confined to think within
geographical boundaries. Instead, evangelism and discipling
will now take place in homogeneous settings across geographical
borders.
Characteristics
of G12
•
The corporate mission
which is synonymous with the personal mission, is
to win people to Christ, make them disciples and
enable them to become fathers of multitudes.
•
Everyone can be a leader and
should be developed into one, in fulfillment of
Christ’s calling to be a disciple-maker.
•
Everyone is mentored so that,
in turn, he can mentor others.
•
G12 groups and open cells are
organised along homogeneous lines, i.e. Men’s
Network, Women’s Network and Youth Network.
•
Long term relationships are
encouraged. Members are committed to each other
and each other’s success for as long as possible.
•
This is a patriarchal system
of lineage, with everyone tracing their roots back
to Senior Pastor.
G12 groups and other variations
The G12 group is a leadership development group. It is
made up of people who are currently leading cells. Up
to 12 of these leaders will be grouped together and mentored
by a leader. In turn, each of these will be helped to
disciple their own group of 12. G12 meetings are held
once a week with the emphasis on mentoring.
Open cells. The main emphasis of the open cell is evangelism.
It is made up of a leader and several members who are
committed to meeting on a regular basis to evangelise,
edify, and form character and values.
