Learn who we are, our story, and what God is doing at Casa del Alfarero.

Since 2001

Our Story

Casa del Alfarero Pentecostal Mission began in response to God’s call to Pastors Jeremías and Carmencita Sánchez, with the purpose of serving the community and sharing the message of salvation in Jesus Christ.

What began as an unexpected challenge became a lifelong mission. With the desire for more people to know Jesus Christ as their only and sufficient Savior, Casa del Alfarero was founded in Concord, California, in 2001.

In 2003, God opened the doors for the church to move to Bay Point, where the congregation continued to grow. In 2007, the sanctuary was expanded to welcome a growing church family. Since then, we have remained there, witnessing God’s faithfulness and the lives He continues to transform.

Today, we continue to serve with the same passion that marked the beginning of this ministry more than two decades ago. We believe God continues to guide our steps and prepare us for a new season of growth, trusting that the building project we have undertaken will become a reality in His perfect timing.

Our greatest desire is for future generations to love and serve God with the same passion and conviction, seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and trusting that He will continue to fulfill His promises.

Our Faith

What We Believe

Our faith is grounded in the Word of God.

Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, true, sufficient, and the supreme authority for Christian faith, doctrine, and life. Through it, we know God’s character, His will, and the way of salvation.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Psalm 119:105

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who came into the world to save humanity. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose on the third day, and lives and reigns forever. He is the only way to the Father and the only Savior.

John 14:6 · Acts 4:12

Salvation

We believe salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone who repents of sin and places their trust in Christ receives forgiveness, new life, and the hope of eternal life.

Ephesians 2:8–9 · Romans 10:9–10

Baptism

We believe water baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus Christ’s command and a public testimony of the believer’s faith. It represents identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Matthew 28:19–20 · Romans 6:3–4

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, guiding, strengthening, and empowering them to live a life that honors God. We also believe He continues to work powerfully in the Church, distributing spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ and the fulfillment of His work.

Acts 1:8 · 1 Corinthians 12:4–11
