How café church started:
The idea was, as a church, to do something different.
Out of the mess of possibilities came Café Church a church for people who don’t go to church. In an age that often lacks
neighbourliness and community spirit, many find an antidote by belonging to a church or a club. The aim of Café Church is to help its local neighbourhood find that sense of togetherness where everyone knows each other’s names.
How:
By providing a place where things can happen. By facilitating cooperation on neighbourhood events. By organising activities that meet the felt needs in the local area. By encouraging people to participate in helping each other. By accessing funding and services that will
benefit the community. By always being open to new ideas!
Why:
Many people perceive Christianity to be about groups of people who sing hymns, listen to preachers, and take up
offerings, whereas Jesus was a person who spent his life on
the road doing things for people and encouraging them to do things for each other.
So Café Church is attempting to place the emphasis on “service”, not “Services”.
