The Potters House
The Potter’s House is a Christian Fellowship Ministries' Church (CFM). CFM, Inc. was founded in 1970 by Pastor Wayman Mitchell. A spiritual fire was launched that is spanning the globe. In a few short years, over 1,600 churches have been planted in over 90 nations of the world. From that, crusades and conferences sprung up that are touching tens of thousands every year. This church is a product of that vision and is working to see it expanded in the short time that remains before Jesus' return. God has given us a vision for the day we live in. Our message is simple, yet it is the cornerstone of all truth. Jesus Christ is the only hope for man's salvation and that is true with every person in every nation on the globe. In a world full of empty dreams and false promises is a truth which grows stronger every year, and that is Jesus Christ and Him crucified!
Our Vision is clear and progressive:
Clear—our vision is visible and measurable. We see the harvest field of North West New Mexico and the World. We intend by all means to impact the unsaved community through outreach and evangelism.
Progressive—we uphold a “whatever it takes to get it done” mentality. We constantly look for more effective ways to fulfill our purpose and see our vision become a reality. We do not fear change, but welcome it. Our vision is big because we have a big God who has given us a big command and a big commission to ‘go into all the world’.
Our Members are Equipped and Empowered:
Equipped—we make a concentrated effort to equip our members to live for Christ by addressing their needs from a biblical perspective and developing within our members a Christian Worldview. Our discipleship program is tailor-made to address the specific needs of believers, visitors and unbelievers.
Empowered—each member is called to minister; therefore, they are free to minister how God has shaped and blessed them. We seek by all means to develop, counsel, and lead each member to find how God has uniquely gifted their lives and abilities—capitalize on those abilities and reach others from that perspective.
Our Accountability is Real and Affirming:
Real—At The Potter’s House, we make available to all aspiring church members a six-week ‘Foundations of Faith’ class outlining the fundamentals of our faith.
Affirming—Our Ministry leaders, elders and Pastor(s) will serve as examples and navigators to affirm, mentor, and assist each member in their spiritual development. We desire to substantially increase the total number of members in active ministry.
Our
Purpose is complete and Practical:
Complete—we focus on five major tasks of the
church as modeled by the early church of Acts. We do not seek to do
one task better than the other. We seek to fulfill all tasks with
excellence. Five Tasks of the Church:(see Acts
2:42-47)
- Discipleship v. 42
- Fellowship v. 42
- Worship, v. 42, 47
- Ministry v. 44-45
- Outreach v. 47
Practical—we want people to understand that authentic Christianity is practical and to be lived out in their daily lives. We want to move the church beyond the theoretical Christianity to the practical Christianity.
