ABOUT US

The Christian Fellowship Churches

Christian Fellowship Ministries (CFM) is a Pentecostal, Bible-based church fellowship founded in 1970 by Pastor Wayman Mitchell in Prescott, Arizona. The fellowship is made up of born-again believers with a strong focus on evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. 

CFM churches actively engage in open-air preaching, personal witnessing, door-to-door outreach, concerts, Christian films, skits, dramas, and other creative expressions to communicate the gospel. Today, Christian Fellowship Ministries is a global movement with over 4,000 churches planted across more than 140 nations, continuing to grow as churches raise leaders and send workers to reach the world with the message of Jesus Christ.

The Indigenous Church

God is restoring the Church to the dignity of its original foundations. The need of the hour is not massive systems or foreign models that feel distant from local realities. What India needs are biblically rooted, locally grounded churches—churches that grow from the soil they are planted in.

In the Bible, every church was a sending base—self-supporting, discipling believers, training leaders, and releasing workers to serve their own communities and beyond. We believe the same model works powerfully today anywhere in the world.

Many see the church as outdated or irrelevant. We believe the opposite. The Church is the Bride of Christ, the bearer of God’s presence, and the pillar of truth. It is the most vital institution in society. Families, communities, and even nations are transformed when the Church lives out its true calling. Jesus is once again showing His Church how to walk in power, simplicity, and obedience.

​

Evangelism

Jesus’ command to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” still stands. In India—with its villages, cities, languages, and cultures—this command is more relevant than ever.

Evangelism is not an event; it is obedience. When believers step out to share Christ, the Holy Spirit empowers them, and joy follows. Our goal is not just church growth but people meeting Jesus personally.

We place the needs of the lost above comfort and style. As the early church experienced, obedience brings God’s presence, changed lives, and the operation of spiritual gifts that glorify Him.

​

Maturity Through A Lifestyle

Jesus called people to follow Him completely. Over time, discipleship has often been reduced to attending services or gaining knowledge. We believe maturity comes through living the Word, not just hearing it.

In these challenging times, being a disciple of Jesus is not easy—but it is deeply fulfilling. Our members desire to live out their faith daily: in their homes, workplaces, schools, and communities. They worship sincerely, give generously, serve faithfully, and witness boldly—trusting that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Discipleship

The New Testament church followed Jesus’ model: calling people, walking with them, training them by example, and releasing them into ministry. The book of Acts shows what happens when ordinary people take discipleship seriously.

Our vision is to restore this biblical pattern in India. Churches are planted, leaders are raised locally, and believers are empowered to serve according to God’s calling on their lives. Every church exists not just to gather people, but to make disciples.

We believe in the active working of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and encourage believers to discover and express their God-given purpose for the building of the Church.

Prayer

Prayer is not optional—it is essential. Daily prayer is a normal part of church life. In a land as spiritually diverse as India, prayer is our battlefield and our strength.

Without prayer, the Church loses power, direction, and sensitivity to God. We believe God’s Kingdom is built by His power, not human effort. Therefore, we give priority to seeking His presence and obeying His leading.

Preaching

​

The Bible is our guide, and preaching is God’s chosen way to shape lives. Clear, honest, and Spirit-filled preaching has always brought transformation.

In a time when commitment is often shallow, many look for easy messages. We believe God is raising a people in India who hunger for truth. Our worship is centered on the preaching of God’s Word, trusting that it will convict, heal, restore, and equip believers for life and service.

Family

The family is God’s first design and the foundation of a healthy society. Today, Indian families face immense pressure—from busyness, broken relationships, and competing values.

We believe the local church plays a key role in strengthening families. While we minister to children and youth, we believe the heart of family transformation lies with the parents. When parents follow Jesus sincerely, faith naturally flows to the next generation.

A strong church brings unity, purpose, and spiritual direction to families—and becomes the base for a genuine move of God.

An Invitation

​

We invite you to worship with us—to pray, fellowship, and hear the Word of God. Some expressions of worship may feel different from what you are used to, but we encourage you to examine the Scriptures and discover God’s design for His Church.

These are days of restoration. Jesus is preparing His people for His return. We invite you to walk with us in faith and obedience, so that we may hear Him say,

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
