Atlanta Mission has been called by God to serve the city of Atlanta.
Since its 1938 beginnings, this Christian nonprofit ministry has grown from a small soup kitchen to a multi-facility organization serving Metro Atlanta’s large homeless population. Today, Atlanta Mission provides emergency shelter, rehab and recovery services, vocational training, services, and transitional housing. We serve more than 1,000 homeless men, women, and children every day.
Atlanta Mission meets each person where they are, in their unique circumstances, to provide customized services to help them overcome the cause of their homelessness.
We believe that a relationship with Christ is the key to restoration, redemption, and sustainable change for everyone. We invest in the spiritual, personal, and professional development of people, restoring and equipping them to intentional living. We believe that in empowering and coaching people toward excellence, we impact the quality of all we do.
Various factors lead to homelessness — job loss, eviction, family tragedy, addiction, domestic violence, a significant health condition, and more. The common denominator is a substantial crack in the foundation of their life. Our programs are multi-pronged and multi-layered, designed to meet people where they are.
The Potter’s House is a ministry of Atlanta Mission. TPH is a Christ-centered, Bible-based, discipleship program for chemically addicted men who express a sincere willingness to change. It is the mission of TPH to advance the Kingdom of God by providing: 1) A safe environment through which chemically addicted men have an opportunity to begin their Christian growth on their road to recovery. 2) A program with the time, tools, motivation, accountability, and guidance to facilitate the individual’s success in recovery, the progression towards a functional relationship with God, self, and others, and the successful re-entry to society.
The Potter’s House philosophy of ministry is taken from the Bible in Jeremiah 18:1-4 when the potter, rather than discarding a flawed vessel, sees its value and reshapes it into something completely new. They believe that at TPH, God reshapes men’s lives so they may be productive and useful for the Kingdom of God.
