About Us

In 1970 Wayman and Nelda Mitchell moved to Prescott to take over a small, struggling congregation. Shortly after arriving, God saved a number of young hippies who were very different than anyone in the church. But as they were welcomed, God began to pour out His Spirit on the congregation. As Pastor Mitchell sought to reach young people, they saw the possibilities of the “coffee-house” concert ministry. At the first concert they ever tried as an evangelistic tool, more than 200 young people attended, with many saved. Out of this a regular concert ministry was birthed. 2 nights a week, bands played, testimonies of salvation were given and the Gospel was preached, with many being saved each night.

From the beginning, Pastor Mitchell understood that concert ministry was to be a training ground of ministry development; It was run by young people who were committed to Jesus and His church. From the beginning, people who had been radically converted sought to share with others what God had done in them. Personal evangelism began to be one of the basic foundations of the church. Then came impact teams: Groups of people that would travel to other nearby cities to help people there experience what God was doing here. Over time, God began to reveal His plan of discipleship: Training young couples for ministry within a local church. In 1973 the first couple was launched directly into the ministry – and God blessed them! Churches then began to be planted throughout the Southwestern United States, and then further across America as converts prayed for the Gospel to be preached in their hometowns.

In 1978 the first couple was planted into another nation – Australia; and we discovered the Gospel worked there, just like it did here. After that, churches were planted in Mexico, Holland and Germany, and South Africa then as we came to understand God’s global mission more and more, churches began to be planted throughout the world. To date, there are over 2700 churches throughout the World.

MEET OUR PASTOR

Pastor Mzontsundu (Mzed) and Lolwethu Ngcawa

I was born and raised in Qaga Location, in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa by my Grandmother. My mother had to work to provide for the family.

When my grandmother died I had to move to King William's Town to stay with my mother. Seeing my mother struggling to put food on the table to a point that she had to work two jobs was a hard pill to swallow. At a very young age I struggled with rejection and a sense of hopelessness. I began to ask myself some questions:

Why am I here on earth?
What is my purpose?

I felt empty on the inside, I was searching for love and acceptance, that's when I got saved at the Potter's House Christian Fellowship Church in 1999 under Pastor Peter Field from Darwin, Australia.

I felt the call of God to preach the gospel. I was discipled and trained to preach the gospel in the King William's Town Potters House Fellowship Church.

In 2011 I took over a church in Zwelitsha, near King William's Town, and pastored the church for eight years. In September 2019 I was asked to take on the role of Senior Pastor of the King William's Town.
