En Fundamentos Bíblicos para la Iglesia Basada en Células, el Dr. Comiskey establece la base bíblica para el ministerio de grupos pequeños. Comiskey primero examina la comunidad dentro de la Trinidad y la estructura familiar del grupo pequeño en el Antiguo Testamento. Luego explora cómo Jesús implementó la nueva familia de Dios a través de las comunidades estrechamente unidas que encontramos en las iglesias en las casas.
