Church Meets Coffee: Building Community Beyond Sunday

In this episode, we sit down with a local pastor who made a bold move — transitioning from leading a large traditional church to creating a business-on-mission model that’s been thriving for over fifteen years. He now runs a vibrant coffee house that serves the community throughout the week and transforms into a church on Sundays.

We dive into his incredible journey of blessing the community, building relationships, and hosting events that bring people together. He shares practical insights on what it looks like to integrate faith and business, foster authentic connections, and create spaces where people experience God’s love outside the walls of a traditional church.

Whether you’re a pastor, church planter, entrepreneur, or someone passionate about community impact, this conversation will inspire you to think creatively about ministry in today’s culture.
