The Atlanta Mission recently dedicated two state-of-the-art facilities at The Potter’s House in Jackson County.

The facilities will house The New Start Dormitory and the Client Life Center to serve the needs of Atlanta and Northeast Georgia.

The Potter’s House serves chemically-addicted men in need of intensive residential rehabilitation programs. Demand was growing such that the existing facilities could not accommodate all those in need.
