Coffee with a Christian was founded on the belief that we as a Church need to do more to reach out to our communities and share the Gospel.  We believe that every Christian should be prepared to witness to the people around them and be willing and trained to share the Gospel with people who want to know more.

Our primary mission is to partners with churches to train and equip their members to more effectively share the Jesus Christ everyone in their community. Prayerfully, we seek to leverage social media, local church congregations and one-on-one discipleship programs to fulfill our calling.  

Though our methods are unique in this regards, our beliefs and faith are as the Bible has always called them to be. Members of Coffee With A Christian are expected to believe and espouse the following...
