Our Roots:

The Door Christian Fellowship Church 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 now includes more than 1,400 congregations worldwide.

THE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCHES
In 1970 Wayman Mitchell went to the small town of Prescott, Arizona. From here, a spiritual fire was launched that is spanning the globe. In a few short years, hundreds of churches have been planted: and crusades and conference; 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. 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!

THE VISION AND THE METHOD THE INDIGENOUS CHURCH
God is returning the church to the dignity of its foundations. What are needed are churches that will go back to their spiritual roots – the Bible. There we find that each church was a launching pad to win the world – supporting itself, disciplining, training, equipping, and releasing workers into the world. Many think of the church as a dead institution or a meaningless relic, years behind the times. We believe the church is the Bride of Christ, the depository of Gods glory and the pillar and ground of truth. It is the most vital Institution on Planet Earth History revolves around the visible body of Christ. Jesus is showing us the keys to releasing His church.

EVANGELISM
Jesus has never rescinded the command “Go ye into the all the world and preach the gospel”. The fulfilling of this command brings great spiritual health. The power of the Holy Spirit is brought to bear in order to accomplish the command, and joy is released in those who obey. While many churches only talk about winning the lost. Our primary goal is to lead men and women to Jesus; the churches of the Fellowship put the frills of modern Christianity second to the needs of the hour. The result of obedience to this command is that God is glorified and honors His word through signs, wonders, and manifestations of the gifts.

Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…

The Mission of Our Fellowship

Our mission is accomplished by keeping focused on five core values.

• 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, and 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 has 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. Keeping the Gospel “outside the four walls” is one of the defining ethics and emphasis of our ministry.
• Discipleship
  Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you…” Discipleship is a responsibility we take seriously. It is also a process where 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 license is the fruit of an intimate relationship with God.
