Impact Cafe

 

Impact Café is, just as the name suggests, a place to come and relax, listen to an engaging contemporary theme, and have some goodies at the same time. It is not really a meeting, nor is it a church service - It has a relaxed, café style atmosphere and begins by encouraging people to chat over drinks and snacks, served to your table decorated with flowers and lit with candles.

Everyone is welcome at Impact Café and we particularly encourage people to bring friends since it is designed to attract and engage with those who are spiritually 'seeking' but who may not normally go to church. Once everyone has settled down, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes, the evening kicks off with a blend of music, video clips and a short presentation of some kind around the 'theme of the week'. There may be a discussion that picks up themes which engage on a practical rather than theoretical level.

Well, if you are not yet in your 30's you will probably like it. If you are in your teens or 20's you may think it's like a breath of fresh air!! Not a watered down Christianity, or New Age spirituality, Impact Café is a serious alternative to traditional worship in an age where the church has become largely disconnected from many peoples lives. The reason people like it include:

• A setting that is part of today's culture
• Relaxed conversation about real life issues that helps to deepen friendship sooner
• Thought provoking short presentations that go at your pace and allow for reflection
• Input that deals with the issues of everyday life
• Its FREE!

The notion of ‘table fellowship’ in café church goes back to the ministry of Jesus, and has the potential to create significant meeting between people, and to encourage the exploration of life and the gospel.

 

So please do come along and bring your family and friends along too. Enjoy the relaxed, friendly environment, good food and drink and the discussion on topics that are relevant to everyday life.

Drinks and snacks are served from around 6.15pm and the café will finish around 7:30pm. It may have been a while since you've been to church, maybe it has never been your thing. Well why not come and get a taster, it might just be your cup of tea.. or coffee or chocolate!!
