Potter's House exists because someone said "YES"
POTTER’S HOUSE, established 2000
This story begins with a couple who felt like they were to perhaps move across the ocean to a far away place to make a difference. But in a round about way, they were shown a vision to open something that stayed open late for college students, right across the street from Missouri State University, in the very same city they already lived. They were heavy hearted that college students needed a place to process life, be renewed from the stresses that weigh us down, and ultimately find Hope. So Potter’s House was birthed.
Before coffee was sold on every corner, Potter’s House connected coffee with belonging. Coffee was never just a drink, it was always steeped in love and conversation. Soon a dear brother joined this couple and the love shared was greatly multiplied.
As a nonprofit, like-minded friends came together and chipped in to launch this vision and keep it going. Then in time, college students graduated and became supporters themselves. Many of you have paid it forward to those who find the coffeehouse that loves you back.
At PoHo we honor every unique story, knowing they all fit into a bigger perfect Story.
