About Us
Leadership
Team
The Potter's House Erdington is led by our Senior Pastor, who is responsible for all aspects of the running of the church. He is supported by a Church Council of two members and a Council Administrator, who together ensure the church operates with integrity, accountability, and a heart for the community.
Church Leadership
Pastor
Lewis Claxton
“I grew up in a house with an underlying influence of alcohol and domestic violence. One day my dad cried out to God for his life to be changed, then a friend reached out to him and lead him to Christ. As a teen I realised the reality of sin and became a Christian too.”

Bonny Sekimpi
“As a young man I was involved in cons and scams, I could sell wool to a sheep. Little did I know, God had my number. God made me realise I was a sinner and that I needed to stop what I was doing and let Him be in charge of my life. It wasn't easy but eventually gave up my old life and now I am happily married and living for God.”

Filipe Gomes
“I was born in Portugal and was raised by my aunt and uncle until I was 12. Being apart from my 5 siblings was pretty difficult - although I couldn't admin at the time. I was raised Catholic but didn't know much about God other than ritual. One day when I was living in London I met with Jesus though a youth project and my life changed for the better.”
Filipe Gomes
Council Administrator
Phil Bryant
“My life before Jesus was uncertain and hectic. One day I realised the life I was living was taking me nowhere fast, right there and then my friend and I asked for God's forgiveness. We haven't looked back since.”

Isaï Marselia
“I was raised in church, so I had a lot of head knowledge about God. If anyone asked me about God I could tell them how to get saved. But I didn't have a relationship with God, not until I humbled myself and admitted that I needed more of Him. Now I can say I know God in my heart too.”
Isaï Marselia
Bible Study Assistant | Head Usher
Franklin Bateki
“Before I gave my life to Christ, I used to admire people who went to church. I thought they were better than me—closer to God, more worthy. But when I looked at myself, I saw the truth of my heart… the things I was doing, the things I couldn’t stop, and I felt completely stuck. I truly believed I could never change. But everything changed through a simple invitation from my mum to church. In that moment, I encountered Jesus Christ for myself—and my life has never been the same.”
