Starting a Cafechurch is an opportunity to reimagine what church can be in a culture where cafes are commonplace. What cafechurch principles could shape our approaches to the way we do church? What tools do we need to make real connections with our communities?
Each week will be a combination of presentation, discussion, and resources that will enable you to either start a cafechurch or explore the concept. Additionally, participants will have the option to visit a cafechurch that is hosted by Rev Cid Latty.

This course will invite you to:
- Identify the biblical foundations for establishing a cafechurch,
- Define the principles and practices found in various forms of cafechurch,
- Recognize the makings of a hospitable core team,
