A nation gathered, an hour set apart.

God and Country is a one hour production held at the steps of the reflecting pool in Washington, D.C., hosted by The Potter's House of Stafford. We celebrate the Biblical and Christian roots of our nation through music, drama, and the singing of our national anthem. Churches from all over the East Coast join to share what Jesus has done in their lives.
