The Best Church Coffee Shop

Many churches have recently added some very high end coffee shops where their congregation can gather and worship even more. Others have expanded, remodeled or added a great lounge area. But have they added a purpose or a mission? Besides being a new center of worship how is it helping your church grow.

The church coffee shop has become the perfect place for people to gather after an inspiring worship message. Its also the perfect place to catch their attention and inspire them to further service work or mission work. Its also the perfect place for the church to expand or further its own missions or service projects.

So let's assume your church wants to start a new outreach program serving the children at the local homeless shelter. Why not have all the coffee proceeds go to help support the children at the local homeless shelter? Then be sure you publicize this well at your coffee shop. Have little table tens, flyers, brochures and even posters. Keep a tally on a chalkboard on how much support you have sent via coffee. Maybe have a collection bin for coats and shoes. You will be amazed and how the support will grow. While they are sipping that great coffee - they will soon be discussing how their Sunday school class should get involved.

And you can use the same method to help your mission programs. Identify a new orphanage or other project and start telling the story. Put out photos of all the children you are helping.The coffee and conversation and God will do the rest. Soon you will have people signing up for the mission trip, or sponsoring their Bible study or asking how they can get involved. So your coffee shop will truly have a mission/

So you have the perfect shop already brewing to grow your outreach program or mission program. Along the same lines it can be used to start bible studies or small groups, or you can use it to facilitate a new sermon series where you even invite the preacher to share his thoughts afterwards, Where the senior pastor can expand on his sermons and fully get his message across. Your coffee shop and lounge is the perfect place for worship - all you need to do is give it focus and mission and with Gods help it will be a huge blessing to your church. God and the coffee will do their part - its your responsibility to direct where the growth will be and whom it will serve.
