, a Christian revival that occurred in America in the early 1970s. Wayman Mitchell
originally began his churches under the affiliation of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel
and continued this affiliation until a disagreement with church leaders on ordination requirements for new ministers. Mitchell believed that a new pastor should be trained through discipleship in their local church rather than external Bible colleges
. By the mid-1980s Mitchell had a following of over a hundred newly established churches, pastored by men who had been trained under him and sent out to minister after a period of discipleship. In 1985, Mitchell gave up his official affiliation with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel and took up a practice under Christian Fellowship Ministries (C.F.M.), the church he had established in Prescott.

understanding of Jesus
and The Trinity, Original sin
, a pro-life
stance to abortion
, and an Evangelical belief in the Great Commission
. The church advocates creationism

, and claims that speaking in tongues is evidence of Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The fellowship also advocates loyalty and obedience to positions of authority in the church, originating with Wayman Mitchell
(Senior Pastor of the fellowship) and the Board of Directors, and on an advisory level. The Prescott church council was also formed to ensure similar practice and doctrine were advocated in all churches within the fellowship. However some fellowship churches state the belief in "The Sovereign Autonomous Government Of The Local Church", which both fit together as part of the overall authority structure. The church also teaches that salvation can be lost because of sin. Potter's House also hold strongly to members paying their tithe
and that tithing proves the faith of the christian, provides finances for the operation of the local church and enables the believer to receive God's blessing. One of the Potter's House distinctions in their doctrine and practice is their discipleship program where they exercise a method of shepherding which would resemble elements of the Shepherding Movement

. Drinking

are prohibited amongst its ministers. The church also believes in divine healing and some of the lead Pastors have frequently done a healing crusade
, as well as praying for the sick in their services.
Some official statements of faith the church follows are:
The church is classified as Pentecostal however the church does not participate in what they call "counterfeit themes", such as the Toronto Blessing
or the Pensacola Outpouring. It also doesn't participate in "interdenominational services" (this is where several different denominations periodically have a joint church service together), though individual members are free to do so. The fellowship also is opposed to certain aspects of the Ecumenical Movement such as the attempts to reconcile Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, as it believes that the teachings of the latter are contrary to the Bible.
, and gives several reasons for this in its publication, We Can Take the Land (A Study in Church Planting). Reasons include a belief that Bible schools are not Biblical, a belief that Bible schools are unable to complete the job of world evangelism
, that Bible schools isolates students from practical experience, that the requirements of attendance at Bible schools are too strict and that Bible schools violate the indigenous principle.
verse of the Bible:
Because of its biblical origin, the name "The Potter's House" is often used by other independent church groups besides those affiliated with Christian Fellowship Ministries. Particularly well known is The Potter's House, Dallas
, Texas, a largely African-American megachurch
founded and led by T. D. Jakes
.
Local churches of the Potters House also use other names, including: The Door, Victory Chapel, Christian Center, Crossroads Chapel, and La Puerta. In non-English speaking countries versions of these names in local languages will also be used.
's book from 1992, Churches That Abuse
contains an alleged account of abuse within a Potter's House church. His follow-up book in 1994, Recovering From Churches That Abuse, also contained an alleged account of abuse.
In January 2002, Charisma News
, a Christian news magazine dealing mainly with Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity
, reported a major exodus of some 160 churches from the Potter's House Movement in the United States. The reason for the split, according to Charisma News
, was "because of unhealthy control, and after (members) leave they are afraid to talk about their experiences." A former pastor interviewed in the Charisma News article, when asked about allegations of abuse, said "There are families who have not spoken for years, brothers who are pastors all the way to the Philippines
who were separated by this group and had years of not even speaking, churches that have been deliberately split, children who don't talk to their parents."
In November 2010, Australia's Nine Network
, reported that Potter's House in Tasmania, Australia was performing a theater stage-show involving "scenes of suicide and drug use, and ended with a pastor telling the audience that 'the devil's children' needed to give their lives to God to be saved from Hell." Ads for the show stated that the performance was MA-rated, however it did not state that it was run by Potter's House or had religious content. A pastor of the Potter's House, according to the report, stated that a press release warned audiences of "violence, mayhem, suicide, the occult and of course death."

Media
In 1989, a father who accused the group of being a "mind-controlling cult", convinced social workers to prevent his 16-year-old daughter (who was in the custody of the state) from attending a Potter's House church. After several months, however, a Juvenile Court commissioner ruled that she could go unless her father or the county could show she was being harmed by the church. The girl's mother, Renee Collin, disagreed with the father, saying she had no objection to her daughter going to the church.In January 2002, Charisma News

responded to criticism of the group by the journalists, and by researcher Ronald Enroth:
They (the media) are not interested in giving honest accounts. By and large they are pea-brained, illiterate and lazy. They come with pre-conceived ideas and a pre-arranged agenda and look only for a sound bite that will help nail down what they want to say. This is not honest, investigative journalism; it is interpretive reporting, where they interpret everything you say to support their own wicked bias. I have no time for them. They are deceptive as well. They do not identify themselves when they arrive. They come into the Church, as one lady did from the Boston TV station, with hidden cameras and microphones. They hope to pick up one sentence or phrase, and use it entirely out of context to cast you in the worst possible light. If we know who they are, we stop them at the doors. ...

Even the Christian press is riddled with bias.

He phoned Pastor Warner, but was only interested in a sound bite. That's the sort of dishonesty we have lived with for years.
