JCG is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to helping complete the great commission in this century by providing resources and coaching to plant new cell churches and transition existing churches to cell-based ministry.

In 2002, Joel Comiskey and Ross Lindsay, a tax lawyer who took Comiskey’s cell church course at Columbia International University, saw the need for a non-profit cell church organization and began the process of making it a reality. Along with Dr. Lindsay, Rob Campbell and Steve Cordle joined the team in 2003. In 2008 JCG welcomed Jeff Tunnell and Mario Vega to form part of the JCG team. Some key goals of JCG is to:

  • Establish a first-class web presence

  • Start a publishing arm called CCS Publishing

  • Offer cell coaching to pastors

  • Support cell churches and cell church pastors in poorer, developing countries through sending short-term mission groups as well as cell church consultants and trainers
