OUR JOURNEY
The Wakefields were sent to Austin in 1997 to pioneer a new Christian Fellowship Church. They evangelized, worked with new converts, and made disciples as the Church began to take shape. They are still pastoring the Church today and over 23yrs later are still pressing forward in God’s Vision and Calling upon their lives. Their heart is to see lives radically transformed by the power of Jesus Christ and to make as much impact as possible for the gospel's sake while keeping the fire alive!
OUR ROOTS
The Potter's House of Austin, Texas 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. Now, over 3,200 churches have been planted in over 130 nations of the world with the number growing daily. 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 that grows stronger every year, and that is Jesus Christ and Him crucified!
LOCAL LEADERSHIP
In our local church, God has given us a powerful revival of men and we are obeying the command by Jesus in Matthew 28:19 to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." As we have grown as a church, men have grown into leadership roles which have been the foundation of our Church council. Each of our Council members has been with us since at or near the beginning of our foundation and also play active roles in church ministry positions.
