Our Mission begins within The Potter's House with our traditional offering of hospitality, service and a listening ear to all who conie through its doors. We also move beyond our walls into the Adams-Morgan neighborhood and the city of Washington, as a faith community that walks with Jesus between the worlds of the rich and the poor, building bridges of love and trust.
