At The Support Cafe, we know where people turn when life falls apart — to the church.

You’re already on the front lines.
You hear the stories.
You get the late-night calls.
You’re asked for help, for prayer, for solutions — sometimes all at once.

But so much of what people need is human and immediate:

• Someone struggling with addiction

• A family breaking under stress

• A person whose mental health is unraveling

That’s where we come in.

What We Do

The Support Cafe is a free, welcoming community space where people can come as they are — no appointments, no paperwork, no judgment. We offer:

• Support groups for mental health, grief, recovery, parenting, and more

• Resources and referrals for practical needs

• A human presence — consistent, compassionate, and trauma-aware

• A non-clinical environment built around trust and dignity

We are not a church.
We do not promote or omit any belief.
We simply walk with people — wherever they are — and help them move forward.

Our Invitation to the Church

We believe your role is irreplaceable — and we believe we can help.

Here’s how we’d love to partner with you:

✅ Invite us to speak. A short Sunday announcement or Sunday school visit helps people know we exist.
✅ Share us. Place flyers or referral cards in your welcome area, bulletin, or church newsletter.
✅ Send volunteers. We need greeters, group hosts, behind-the-scenes helpers, and hearts willing to show up.
✅ Support the work. One-time or recurring donations help us keep the doors open and the lights on.

“I was sick and you visited me… I was in prison and you came to me… Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.” — Matthew 25

What We Believe

We believe that when human needs are met, people become more able to consider faith, purpose, and the direction of their lives. Our director, Pat Brown, is personally driven by the teachings of Jesus — and by the hope of one day hearing, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

But faith is never required or measured here.

The Support Cafe is open to everyone. We meet people where they are, and we walk with them — with no agenda except love and stability.
