About Us
Why “Coffee As You Are”?
We love these things: Jesus, authenticity, coffee, laughter, and welcoming all for starters.
Jesus welcomed all people, of any condition, to come to him. I love that we can show up, as we are, and Jesus meets us.
And I love “coffee dates” where a cup of tastiness and a good friend turn an average day into extraordinary.
We invite you to join us – as you are (a mess or put together). We’ll laugh, we might cry, but we’ll love Jesus through it all because He first loved us.
Our Mission & Vision
We are God’s masterpiece.
Ephesians 2:10
God created each of us as a masterpiece, unique, beautiful, “powerful beyond measure,” and Coffee As You Are is here to support your journey to seeing yourself as God sees you & created you to be because we know life has clouded our vision to see ourselves as God sees us.
I expect God to lead the way to amazing places and people and moments where He shows up in powerful ways.
But for now, we’re a work in progress.
What We Believe
Firmly rooted in the Gospel, following the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, we look to the example of Jesus and his Mother Mary to guide our life.
We believe all are welcome. While this is a place for women to build community, that is not to exclude the contributions that the men and children have in our lives. While our core beliefs hold fast to the teaching of the Catholic Church, all faiths are welcome. We believe that it is only when we allow other viewpoints to be shared, and are open to seeing the world from another’s point of view, that our own is strengthened by the grace we’ve extended.
Still not sure if this is your kind of place? Check out our About page for more!
Meet The
Founder
How much can you really know about a group or person based on some colors and text thrown out into the internet? I hope quite a bit, based on the time I had to spend agonizing over it all! Lol!
In case you’re unsure about what we’re about, I’m sharing this little intro so you can hear my sincerity when I say: “WELCOME!!! I’m glad you’re here!” Whatever brought you, I hope we can inspire you in some way today. If not, contact me to let me know how I might help you.
What we Offer
Accountability
We have accountability in every other area of our lives, why not in our spiritual life? Knowing that you should, or being obligated to, attend church on Sunday isn’t the same as knowing someone will be there, looking for you. Coffee As You Are offers Spiritual Coaching to provide personalized accountability for your prayer, faith, and spiritual life. Start with your FREE Faith Assessment to see where you’re succeeding and where you could use some accountability!
Discipleship
It’s a fancy, often misunderstood word. But the Apostles were disciples of Jesus. They learned His teachings, His ways, and continued His mission once He went back to heaven. And we’re all called to that. But it’s not easy to do on our own – that’s where Coffee As You Are can help. Either one-on-one, in spiritual coaching, or in a small group setting, it’s also built into our membership.
Community
Coffee As You Are wouldn’t be what it is (and hopes to become) without you! But it can feel lonely and looking at a website that promises everything but doesn’t provide the “I’m here for you now” that you need can be worse.
Check us out – join in, or just lurk, whatever you’re most comfortable with. But we hope you’ll chime in the conversation because it’s not the same without you.
Coming Soon
Just like life, we’re a work in progress…
but here’s a few things to look forward to as our website grows:
