Kairos Cafe
Coffee with a cause!

Its a place of community! Who doesn't love Jesus, coffee and community?!

The purpose of Kairos Cafe is to

• Welcome people as they come to Life Gate
• Serve and connect with others
• Reach out to the community

​​Welcome
When guests arrive at Life Gate it is our desire that after they are greeted at the door, they can get a free cup of coffee. Anyone at Life Gate can have coffee as well, we simply ask for a suggested donation of $1 per cup, however many people give more than that as they sow into community outreach.

Serve and connect
On Sundays, the Kairos Cafe is a great place to chat with your church friends, play a game of Tic Tac Toe with your kids, or chat with one of our volunteer baristas. Throughout the week, the Kairos Cafe space is also utilized in many ways by various small groups, Homeschool Co-Op, and as a work space for our staff.

Community
All proceeds above the cost of running the cafe go to non-profit ministries & outreach causes, to link arms with them and be able to sow into what they are doing in the earth.

Our first ministry that we have been able to give to from Kairos Cafe, is Hope of the Ozarks.
In November of 2022, we were able to give just over $400 to Hope of The Ozarks and hosted their annual fundraiser. Because of the seed that Life Gate sowed, thus far that event has raised $20,000 for the camp. We may have only sowed a little but God blessed it abundantly. So thank you all who have grabbed a cup of coffee, donated and have enjoyed the environment.


HOPE OF THE OZARKS
Hope Of The Ozarks is a Christian summer scholarship camp uniquely designed to meet the needs of children of prisoners. Children of prisoners are often considered the most at risk youth in America. Hope Of The Ozarks has found that a week of camp can play a significant role in giving these children a better future. Located in Rolla, MO, Hope Of The Ozarks began as a small, rustic camp in 2004, and has steadily grown since. But camp isn't just for the kids! Each summer they have over 100 volunteers who cook meals, wash dishes, help with crafts, play games, and are just there for the kids.

Hope Of The Ozarks is directed by Josh & Julia Cullom, who attend Life Gate as a part of our online congregation each week.
