Christian Fellowship Ministries
"Go ye unto all the world and preach to gospel to all nations..."
In 1970 Wayman and Nelda Mitchell moved to Prescott to take over a small, struggling congregation. Shortly after arriving, God saved a number of young hippies who were very different than anyone in the church. But as they were welcomed, God began to pour out His Spirit on the congregation. As Pastor Mitchell sought to reach young people, they saw the possibilities of the “coffee-house” concert ministry. At the first concert they ever tried as an evangelistic tool, more than 200 young people attended, with many saved. Out of this a regular concert ministry was birthed. 2 nights a week, bands played, testimonies of salvation were given and the Gospel was preached, with many being saved each night.
From the beginning, Pastor Mitchell understood that concert ministry was to be a training ground of ministry development; it was run by young people who were committed to Jesus and His church. From the beginning, people who had been radically converted sought to share with others what God had done in them. Personal evangelism began to be one of the basic foundations of the church. Then came impact teams: Groups of people that would travel to other nearby cities to help people there experience what God was doing here. Over time, God began to reveal His plan of discipleship: Training young couples for ministry within a local church. In 1973 the first couple was launched directly into the ministry – and God blessed them! Churches then began to be planted throughout the Southwestern United States, and then further across America as converts prayed for the Gospel to be preached in their hometowns.
In 1978 the first couple was planted into another nation – Australia; and we discovered the Gospel worked there, just like it did here. After that, churches were planted in Mexico, Holland and Germany then as we came to understand God’s global mission more and more, churches began to be planted throughout the world. To date, there are over 2500 churches in 46 US states, and 126 nations of the world.
Our message is simple, yet it is the cornerstone of all truth. JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY hope for man's salvation. In a world full of empty dreams and false promises, there is a truth which grows stronger every day... JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!
Our Local Church in Pocatello
The Potter's House in Pocatello, ID exists as a local congregation to witness to the world of God's love as revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, our crucified, risen, exalted, and soon-returning King. We are a Bible believing church and seek to teach the Word of God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Our goal is the shaping and equipping of our church family so that disciples will be nourished and empowered to fulfill their God-ordained purpose and ministry. Our church was sent out of The Potter's House Christian Center of Ogden in January of 2018. In July 2020 the church has been taken over by Pastor Jeromie and Michelle Ramirez.
