“Arise and go down
to the potter’s house,
and there I will cause you
to hear My words.”
Jeremiah 18:2
WHO WE ARE
The Potter’s House Tauranga is a place where you can come and hear God’s word. We are a multi-racial fellowship and welcome people from all walks of life. We would love for you to join us in our services and Bible studies.
We are a Bible-based, Spirit-filled, non-denominational Christian ministry with a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ. We are a local church where ordinary people can experience an extraordinary God.
We exist as a local church organization to share with the world God’s life-changing love as revealed in the giving of His Son Jesus Christ, our crucified, risen, exalted and soon returning King. We are a place for all nations where you can belong. Our goal is to serve and equip our church family so that our people will grow and be empowered to fulfill their God-ordained purpose and destiny. As members of the church, our desire is to bring glory to God through our public and private lives by being good examples to our community in all areas of life. We do this through the study and application of the scriptures then practice what we preach by living them out. This is achieved by growing in Godly character, by practicing Biblical fellowship, by serving one another with our spiritual gifts, our time, by giving and by proclaiming the Good News in Tauranga, the surrounding suburbs, and to the ends of the earth.
We are a part of Christian Fellowship Ministries (CFM) worldwide. Our main focus as a fellowship is evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
EVANGELISM
Jesus said "Go into all the world and preach the gospel," and we take His call to action seriously. Reaching out to people in our community by telling them about Jesus and holding events so that they can learn about God's good news is a big part of what we do. We believe the gospel was not intended to be kept only within the four walls of the church, which is why we put an emphasis on sharing outside of church services.
DISCIPLESHIP
As a part of the great commission Jesus also said to "make disciples of all men." This is why discipleship is such an integral part of our fellowship. We work with people by helping them in their walk with Christ. This is important as learning comes while you participate.
CHURCH PLANTING
We believe in church planting as a means to both preach the gospel to all nations and to make disciples. God loves the local church and the New Testament is full of examples of various local churches. Each local church has the ability to reach people in that specific area, make disciples and in its turn plant out new churches reaching more people for Jesus.
