OUR VISION
Evangelism, Discipleship and Church Planting
The vision of The Potter's House Christian Church in East tamaki is to fulfil Jesus' Great Commission in Mark 16:15
"Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every person."
To achieve this, the foundations of our Fellowship can be summed up as:
OUR History
Pastor Wayman and Nelda Mitchell
Wayman and Nelda Mitchell were married for 63 years, until her passing in 2016. Neither of them had a religious upbringing, but experienced powerful conversions in their mid-20's. After responding to the call to preach, they pastored a number of churches in Canada, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and California. In 1970 they came to Prescott to take a small, struggling congregation. Shortly after arriving, God saved a number of hippies and they welcomed them into the church. God began a marvelous outpouring of conversions and growth in connection with the "Jesus Movement" of the 1970's. As God revealed His plan for discipleship, churches began to be planted throughout the US, and then spreading to many other nations. The Mitchells pastored as missionaries to Australia on 3 different occasions to accelerate the movement there. Pastor Mitchell continued to travel extensively throughout the world preaching in various Potter's House conferences, rallies, leadership meetings, discipleship classes and healing crusades, until early in 2020. He finally went home to his reward on September 21st, 2020, and left behind a world-changing move of God.
Pastor Greg and lisa mitchell
Greg and Lisa Mitchell have been married for over 38 years. They were both wonderfully saved as teenagers; Greg in Prescott, and Lisa in her hometown of Perth, West Australia. They were married, discipled, trained for ministry and sent out of The Potter’s House in Perth, West Australia. In 1986 they pioneered a church in Launceston, Tasmania, then pastored 2 other churches in Melbourne, Australia. In 1997 they went as missionaries to pioneer a church in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg, South Africa. During their 7-1/2 years there, they saw many wonderful conversions and miracles. God helped them to raise up disciples, plant churches, build a permanent building, and establish the conference center for our churches in Southern Africa. They then returned to Prescott, where they have pastored The Potter's House Prescott since 2004.

Our Pastor
Pastor Compton gave His life to Jesus in the Potters House Christian church St Mary’s.
He got saved, became a disciple and began seeing God do miracles in His mother church. In 2024, he and his wife Davina were launched out of the Sydney Bible Conference to pioneer a church in East Tamaki, Auckland, New Zealand.
They are both excited to see all that God is going to do in the lives of the people in East Tamaki.
