ABOUT US:
Mother Church
“The Door” - Christian Fellowship Church is associated with more
than 1,400 congregations around the world. Christian Fellowship
Ministries was founded and is led by Pastor Wayman Mitchell,
Senior Pastor of The Potter’s House church of Prescott, AZ since
1970. This local body in Prescott is the mother church of the
entire fellowship of churches.
Revival Church
In December of1973 Pastor Harold Warner and his young wife, Mona,
were sent to Tucson to assume the pastorate of an almost defunct
Foursquare mission on Veteran’s Blvd. on Tucson’s south side.
“Brother Harold and sister Mona”, both saved in the Jesus People
movement, were impervious to their humble surroundings and saw only
a great opportunity to impact their generation for Christ. As the
Warners simply began to preach, serve and evangelize, God honored
their labors by bringing in scores of hippies and young people.
Since then The Door Church has been privileged to experience
several waves of revival from the workings of God’s Holy Spirit.
Flagship Church
One unique facet of Christian Fellowship Churches is the
discipleship and training of couples within the local congregations
to plant churches. True to the same vision that launched the
Warners to Tucson, The Door planted its first baby church
into Clifton, AZ in May, 1977. Today there are almost 250 churches
worldwide that have their roots back to The Door Church. Also
in the mid 70’s The Door inaugurated a semi-annual
(now annual) Bible Conference that caters specifically to the vision
and challenges of church planting. This early summer convention,
which takes place at the Tucson Civic Center, is still the highlight
of The Door’s lively calendar of events.
Growing Church
Today, closing in on 35 years of ministry, a congregation of
nearly a 1,000, continues to minister to Tucson and regions beyond.
This includes events happening in the church: the diligent preaching
of Pastor Warner, revival services with gifted evangelists, full
length dramas, Next Generation Ministries (ministry to children),
Vision Unlimited (Youth ministry), to name a few. Then there are
those that function outside the church: HHM Bible Studies, park
concerts and dramas, outdoor videos or just simple outreaches to
present of the gospel. The Door Church is dedicated to
growth as we strive to be faithful to the “heavenly vision.”
