The Neighborhood Café is a whole new way to love your neighbors—without being weird!
I created the Neighborhood Café based on my experience in my own neighborhood, and neighborhoods like yours (check out the map of Neighborhood Café’s across the country!).
You begin by hosting an Open House for your neighbors and friends, then invite them back for Bible study.
When you start a Neighborhood Café women’s Bible study in your own home, you will:
- Overcome your fears about sharing your faith and find fulfillment in obeying Christ’s #2 command
- Maximize your time by offering simple hospitality—not extravagant entertaining—to many neighbors at once
- Make new friends with women who were once strangers as you form authentic relationships
- Create a sanctuary on your streets as united neighbors form a safe, secure community to raise your families
Everything you need to get started is in the Neighborhood Café Kit, and there are additional free resources on this website.

Calling all Neighborhood Cafe Hostesses!
Click here to access a special page created just for you. Your special page has links to all the online resources referenced in your Café Kit. You’ll also find ways to connect with me and other Hostesses for prayer and answers to your specific questions.
Register Your Neighborhood Cafe
To get started, provide as much of this basic information as you can – don’t worry, you can add to it or change it at any time. You will write a short welcome message for your neighbors letting them know your heart for your neighborhood and why you’re Hosting a Neighborhood Cafe. It’s a good idea to remind them of the date of your Open House and what you’ll be talking about at future gatherings. You also decide how much personal information to share such as your address, email address and phone number.
You will be contacted by email or phone to complete your Neighborhood Cafe setup. Don’t worry if you haven’t decided on all of these questions; you can easily change or clarify your answers at any time!
Your Neighborhood Cafe will be listed on the “Find A Cafe” page on this website, an easy and effective way to let others know what’s happening in your neighborhood. We’ll even help you set up a private Facebook group for your Cafe guests!
Call me. Let’s pray together and watch God work in your neighborhood.
