How the Neighborhood Cafe Works
The Neighborhood Cafe is where you get to know your neighbors over coffee at your kitchen table – the best place to deepen old friendships and make new ones. Here’s how it works:
1. Host an Open House for your neighbors
2. Invite them back for Bible Study
There are a million questions between Step 1 and Step 2, and I’m here to answer every one of them. You are not alone in your neighborhood! Practical tips and tools come with prayer and partnership. I will answer your questions, calm your fears with truth, help you develop a plan for your unique personality, and pray with you for God to open doors in your community.
Let’s get started! Your neighbors are waiting.
Everything you need is packed in this free Neighborhood Cafe Kit loaded with resources based on my experience and the women who have come before you. We’ve made every mistake so you don’t have to! And we’ve learned what works and are eager to share it with you.

Let’s be honest: loving our neighbor isn’t always easy. If you’re wrestling God’s inconvenient command to love your neighbor (I said what I said), I want to help you find the joy that comes from obedience.
This webinar will equip you to take the first step in fulfilling your calling in your neighborhood.
May God bless you and your neighbors,
