Our mission is to break down barriers between people and Jesus by focusing our attention on God, risking authentic relationships, and impacting our community and world. We want to be a church that doesn't have prerequisites for participation. Just like Jesus invited us to the never-ending party, we want to invite others. Everyone, in fact.

When we look around, we see a community that feels disconnected and lonely. We want to create a place for connection and relationships, where people can relax and have meaningful - potentially life-changing - conversations. In other words, this coffee shop isn't about the coffee. (But the coffee will be delicious.)

Like you once may have been, there are people in our community who have hesitations about coming to church. We hope to break down that barrier with a warm cup of coffee and a safe place to encounter the hope of Christ. This will be a place where kids can play in an enclosed, indoor playground while they let the stresses of the day fall off their shoulders alongside their friends. We see a place to gather at night for open mics, art shows, karaoke, and small concerts. We see an environment that can be safe for those not wanting to come into the “big room” during Sunday services. We see this as a place to connect with your 1More.

For that very reason, this is the perfect time to invest in a coffee shop. The past year has been a revealer and an amplifier of the needs of our community, and we are determined to provide Papillion with a space to find connection and relationships. 

The coffee shop is currently nameless, but we will provide an opportunity for you to turn in suggested names in the near future!

We believe we will be able to open 3 months after construction begins. However, the start date of construction depends on the generosity of Barrier Breakers like you.

This project will cost a total of $450,000 and while we know this is a lot, we also think the mission of reaching our community is worth it. 

In the past three years, all fundraising efforts have been toward the general budget and overall mission of the church. PIVOT is the first time we've raised specific funds allocated for the coffee shop.

As we pivot as a church, we want to ask you to make two very important commitments:
First, make a relational investment with one local person who has not encountered the life-changing love of Jesus - we call this your 1More. Ultimately, we should all have more than one person we are doing this with, but we should all have at least one person whom we are helping to take steps toward Jesus.
Second, make a financial investment as we sacrifice together to make this project happen. This project will cost a total of $450,000 and while we know this is a lot, we also think the mission of reaching our community is worth it. As a church, we will come together on May 23rd to make our pledge commitments. Consider how  you could help us kickstart this work through a generous, 1-time, lead gift - then - consider what you could sacrifice, above and beyond your regular gifts, over the next 8 months. During this time, even a small regular gift can make a huge impact.

Often times we hear a phrase like “Not Equal Gifts, but Equal Sacrifice” and think, “If they only knew how little money I have,” or “I’m giving all I can—I can’t give anymore,” or “I can barely make it on what I earn. There’s no way I can give to the project.” Believe us, we understand the concerns and empathize with you. That’s why we developed a list of creative ways to give that you may have overlooked. Each one requires sacrifice, but like King David said, “I will not offer up to the Lord anything that costs me nothing!” (1 Chronicles 21:24).

We also ask that everyone join us in prayer throughout this campaign. We know that this project is possible with God, and we pray that we keep our eyes outwardly focused on Him and the people He loves. Here are 21 days of scripture to pray over from May 9-23:
