Jeff Tunnell

Jeff Tunnell is lead pastor as Big Bear Christian Center, a cell church located in a mountain community of 5700 (24 000 in the surrounding area). I've heard people say that cell ministry works only in bustling urban environments, but Big Bear Christian Center (BBCC) finds itself in just the opposite environment, yet God is doing great things through the cell ministry. Since 2000 Tunnell has patiently steered the church through transition to the cell-driven strategy, adapting cell principles to fit the context of Big Bear City.
