Who We Are
The Potters House Christian Fellowship in Universal City, Texas is part of Christian Fellowship Ministries. The fellowship began in Prescott, Arizona in the early 70’s during Jesus People Movement.
Our vision comes from Matthew 28:19-20. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you… “
We focus on the following:
Evangelism: We emphasize personal evangelism, and a large variety of outreaches to share the Gospel.
Conversion: The bulk of our congregation consists of people converted here by the Power of God.
The Local Church: God’s will is accomplished in us and through us as connect and commit ourselves to a local church.
Discipleship: God intends for calling to Him, and for Him, to be accomplished through being trained and equipped within the setting of a local church.
Church Planting: We send couples to plant brand new congregations, with the aim of reproducing our vision in a new area.
World Evangelism: Our job as believers, and as the local church is to pray, train, invest, send and support workers to go into all the world!
What We Believe
There are three primary experiences of the Christian life: Salvation, Water Baptism, and Holy Spirit Baptism.
1. Salvation
-
Salvation is initiated by a prayer of faith in Jesus.
-
Salvation is completed by God's grace.
-
Salvation is maintained by a lifestyle of Biblical righteousness.
-
Salvation is demonstrated by works.
-
Salvation is lost when we sin and do not repent.
-
Salvation is necessary to enter Heaven in eternity.
2. Water Baptism
-
Water Baptism was exemplified by Christ.
-
Water Baptism is not necessary to be saved, but is definitely an important Christian experience not to be ignored.
-
Water Baptism is a public demonstration of faith in Jesus Christ.
-
Water Baptism is executed in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
3. Holy Spirit Baptism
-
Holy Spirit Baptism is evidenced by speaking in tongues. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:45–46)
-
Holy Spirit Baptism is an experience different and distinct from Salvation or Water Baptism. (Acts 1:5; Acts 10:44)
