Who we are
Welcome to Potters House Derby! We are a vibrant, Bible-based church with a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
No matter who you are or where you come from, we believe that God has a plan for your life. Our heart is to create a place where people can encounter God, experience His power, and find hope, healing, and direction for the future. We believe that lives can be radically transformed when people meet Jesus.
Potters House Derby was pioneered in 2006 by Pastor Chiso and Sister Shandina, with a vision to reach people with the life-changing message of the gospel. What started as a small group of believers has grown into a church family committed to worship, discipleship, evangelism, and community.
Our vision
Evangelism
We emphasize sharing the Good News of Jesus through personal evangelism and a large variety of outreaches.
Conversion
We witness, testify and preach for a decision because the Gospel has the power to save and transform lives.
The Local Church
God’s will is accomplished in us and through us as we connect and commit ourselves to a local church.
Discipleship
The highest calling of a Pastor and church is to obey God’s calling to make disciples in all the nations.
Church Planting
Disciples are raised up so that they can be released into surrounding cities and countries to reproduce our vision.
World Evangelism
Our job as believers and the church is to pray, train, invest, send and support workers to go into all the world!
