Welcome to The Door CFC

Our Story

The Door CFC began in 1993 with a faithful young family to see lives touched by God. Working with college students and young families, we have impacted not only our city, but have partnered with area churches to help reach their communities for God, and we have sent our pastors and members of our congregation to 10 nations…all with a desire to see the world won for Jesus.

The Door CFC is currently pastored by Jim and Patsy Peña who have pastored five successful churches including being missionaries in Costa Rica and Mexico. Their decades of closeness to God and a serving heart will help you experience a relationship with Jesus Christ like no other way.

Our Fellowship

The Door of San Antonio is a Christian Fellowship Ministries' Church (CFM). CFM, Inc. was founded in 1970 by Pastor Wayman Mitchell. A spiritual fire was launched that is spanning the globe. Now, over 2,600 churches have been planted in over 130 nations of the world with the number growing daily. From that, crusades and conferences sprung up that are touching tens of thousands every year. This church is a product of that vision and is working to see it expanded in the short time that remains before Jesus' return. God has given us a vision for the day we live in. Our message is simple, yet it is the cornerstone of all truth. Jesus Christ is the only hope for man's salvation and that is true with every person in every nation on the globe. In a world full of empty dreams and false promises is a truth which grows stronger every year, and that is Jesus Christ and Him crucified!

Our Vision & Mission

Evangelism
The Gospel taken outside the four walls is the absolute foundation of our church, in obedience to Mark 16:15, "And He 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.

The Local Church
At The Door CFC Kingsville, we believe that 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, 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.

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."

Church Planting
The result of disciples being raised up is that they be released into the harvest field. Matthew 9:37-38, "Then He 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. Mark 16:15, "all the world/every person" and 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!
