OUR ROOTS
The Potter’s House Christian Fellowship is affiliated with Christian Fellowship Ministries founded by Wayman Mitchell, Senior Pastor of The Potter’s House Church of Prescott, Arizona. Beginning in 1973, this body (originally First Foursquare Church) has mothered an entire fellowship of churches which go by various names. These include The Door, The Potter’s House, Victory Chapel, The Lighthouse, and Living Waters. The fellowship includes more than 2,034 congregations worldwide.
OUR BEGINNINGS
Pastor Mike and Inez Wolff were sent out of Chula Vista Ca.in November 2019 to pioneer a work in Escondido, California.
OUR VISION
Our Vision is simple: get souls saved, disciple couples, and launch them to pioneer a new work for Jesus.
WE BELIEVE
* There is only one God, and that he is eternally existent in three persons: “The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
* God, The Father, is the creator of the universe. He created man in his own image for fellowship, and called man back to him through Christ after after the rebellion and fall of man.
* Jesus Christ is eternally God. He was together with The Father and The Holy Spirit from the beginning, and through him all things were made. He left Heaven and became incarnate by The Holy Spirit of The Virgin Mary: henceforth, he is forever one Christ with two natures, God and man, in one person.
* The Holy Spirit is God, The Lord and giver of life, who was active in The Old Testament, and given to The Church in fullness at Pentecost. He empowers the saints for service and witness, cleanses man from the old nature, and conforms us to the image of Christ.
* The baptism in The Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, subsequent to conversion, releases the fullness of The Spirit and is evidenced by the fruits and gifts of The Holy Spirit.
* The Bible containing The Old and New Testaments is alone the only infallible, inspired word of God, and its authority is ultimate, final, and eternal. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any regard. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and and practical Christian conduct.
WORSHIP
Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever. Psalm 29:2 says, “Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Central to the life of the congregation is the vibrant, heartfelt, exuberant worship of Jesus Christ as Lord.
FELLOWSHIP
Acts 2:42 says: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship.” The life of the early Church revolved around the faithful ministry of teaching and preaching God’s Word, and the bond of committed relationships that believers had with one another. Galations 6:10 reiterates: Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” In order for worship to complete us, the church must be a fellowship of believers.
EVANGELISM
Mark 16:15 says: “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature’….” The Great Commission has never been rescinded. Taking the gospel outside the four walls of the church building is a defining ethic and emphasis of our ministry.
DISCIPLESHIP
Matthew 28:19-20 says: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations… teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…” Discipleship is a responsibility that we take seriously. It is also a process during which we challenge believers to mature and grow as followers of Christ seeking to do His will.
DEVOTION
Devotion refers to our commitment to God’s will, God’s ways, and God’s Word. We believe in a serious minded approach to communion with God. Finding the balance between legalism and licence is the fruit of an intimate relationship with God.
