VISION STATEMENT
That God would build a community of contagious Christians that have impact in this city and reach beyond by planting and supporting churches in Australia and throughout the world.
Fellowship
“The Potters House in Fairfield” - is associated with more than 1,650 congregations around the world. Christian Fellowship Ministries was founded and is led by Pastor Wayman Mitchell, Senior Pastor of The Potter’s House church of Prescott, AZ since 1970. This local body in Prescott is the mother church of the entire fellowship of churches and is also known as The Potters House, Victory Chapel, The Lighthouse, Livingwaters, The Door.
A revival had touched a little church in Prescott, Arizona. The 'Jesus Movement' was sweeping America and multitudes of young people were being profoundly saved and converted to Christ. while many of the traditional churches closed there doors to the long haired, denim clad 'hippies', Pastor Wayman Mitchell received them with open arms.
Pastor Mitchell's solid grounding in the Word of God and his passion to take the Gospel into all the world was soon imparted into the hearts of many zealous new converts, in a short few years, several young couples were launched surrounding cities to pioneer new churches.
In 1978, one of these couples was sent to Perth to begin a new church, following the pattern that had been set in Prescott Arizona. From the beginning the emphasis was Evangelism, Discipleship, Church Planting and World Evangelism.
31 years later that one church planted into Perth has grown to 500 members and has in turn planted dozens of couples that have planted 130 churches into 18 countries of the world! The Potter's House in Fairfield is one of those churches.
