The Cafe...Real, Authentic, Safe Place!

Our Desire...to be a community of authentic, real Christ-followers building a community of real relationships to one another, and our world.

Church should be more than just a menu of programs and activities. It's supposed to be a place where followers of Jesus build a community... a place where those who attend love God more, and love others (their world) more visibly!

Mission: We exist to equip Christ-followers to uniquely engage the community through authentic relationships.

So What's Really Different?

It May seem Subtle, but it is Actually Big Change!

Our former logo put the emphasis on the Coffeehouse and Coffee-cup. Our new logo is focused on the TABLE... the dialogue... the transformation of people.

Churches are organic... they are designed to grow and mature. They go through chapters as their story unfolds!

Our FIRST chapter was about developing the idea of a place like the Cafe! Our NEXT chapter is to build on this place, to now build the people of the place! More than transforming church into a safe-place, now the focus is on developing a relationship with Christ that causes us to be people who are transformed by the love and grace of God.

Now, everything that God has done to make this place known throughout the City is now what we build upon and move our focus on developing deeper walks with God. Practically, this means we enter this next season with a clean the slate and re-focus how we organize ourselves, how we are led, what we prioritize our activities, and how we expend our resources.

It is too easy for Church to become locked in and an organizational. When it does, it typically loses its life. It is harder to allow the church to be moldable and open to change and growth! Yet, it is the very thing that keeps the Church---Church... a growing, organic expession of the heart of God. Stay tuned.
