Since
opening, St. James Coffee House estimates that it has served and
ministered to hundreds of people weekly through gatherings in the form
of speakers, seminars, movie showings and concerts. The organization is
run by a Board of Directors and staffed with one full-time employee that
manages a team of volunteer baristas. “Since our opening, St. James
Coffee House has been a pivotal gathering place for deeper
conversations, creative expression, intellectual and spiritual
dialogue,” said Brian Kusek, Director of Evangelization. “Currently our space offers seating for up to 50 people, we seek
to grow our outreach and transform all through our mission centered on
the good news of the Gospel and the love of Jesus Christ.”
The
$10,000 Kickstarter goal will allow the Catholic nonprofit cafe to
further its ministry by bolstering the present resources, increasing its
apologetic books and resource library, as well as providing a technical
infrastructure for outreach via the Internet through web and podcasts.
The organization also hopes to provide stipends to national Catholic
speakers and musicians.

About St. James Coffee
Our mission
is to provide a welcoming space for non-Catholics and non-practicing
Catholics to come to know Christ and His Church, and to provide a forum
for Catholics to find fellowship and catechesis. At
St. James Coffee, we believe that quality products inspire quality
conversation; that something as simple as a cup of coffee can be one of
the best reminders of the good, the true, and the beautiful.
