Our Local Church

Pastor Daniel Slyter

–

The Modesto Potter’s House Christian Center, was first started in 2013, by P. Eli Medina, who grew up in the gangs and violence of Modesto. After moving to Utah for a fresh start, he gave his life to Jesus. Though living in Utah for many years, He still had a love and a passion for his hometown. After a frew years, Eli and his wife Mary were sent back into Modest from the Ogden, Utah to pioneer this church. With revival and many lives changed throughout the city the church was given over to P. Mike Flores in the fall of 2016. With a continuation of revival and seeing growth, the church was then handed to P. Allen Noles and his wife Brecka, who held the pastorate from the summer of 2019 until June of 2023 when they answered the call to the mission field. They are now missionaries in Georgetown, Guyana. The church was handed over to P. Daniel and Alyssa Slyter at the first Ogden, Utah international Bible conference in June of 2023. As the church continues to grow and unify and restoration in the great city of Modesto continues, Come join us and see for yourself what Yahweh is doing in our great city.

Evangelism

The Gospel taken outside the four walls is the absolute foundation of our church, in obedience to the word of God (Mark 16:15).  Jesus said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."  We emphasize personal evangelism and a large variety of outreaches to share the Gospel. 

Conversion

We witness, testify and preach for a decision. The Gospel has the power to save and transform lives. 1 Peter 1:23: "having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever".  The bulk of our congregation consists of people converted here by the Power of God.

Discipleship

God intends for calling to Him, and for Him, to be accomplished through being trained and equipped within the setting of a local church. Therefore, the highest calling of a Pastor and congregation is to obey God’s command in Matthew 28:19-20: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

The Local Church

God has placed everything necessary to accomplish His will in the setting of the local church. Ephesians 1:22-23 …the church, which is his body, is the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. God’s will is accomplished in us and through us as we connect and commit ourselves to a local church.

Church Planting

The result of disciples being raised up is that they will be released into the harvest field. In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." We send couples to plant brand new congregations, with the aim of reproducing our vision in a new area.

World Evangelism

From the earliest Bible record, God’s vision is worldwide testimony and impact. The gospel message and the vision God has revealed to us is not simply American, but God-inspired; so therefore it works, and is relevant in every nation and culture of the world. The bible says in Mark 16:15 "all the world/every person" and in Matthew 28:19,  "all the nations".  Our job as believers, and as the local church is to pray, train, invest, send and support workers to go into all the world!
