Cornerstone Cafe is a new venue at Grace Community Church for young adults 7th through 12th grade. We meet every Wednesday night at 7pm and go till 8:25pm. The Cafe is almost done just a few little things left before the grand opening. The first night of The Cafe will be Jan. 14! We will be playing tons of games, eating great snacks, and getting to know each other. I am very excited for the cafe to start and to see where it goes in the future. This website will be a way for others to know what is going on in the youth group and updated events that the church and youth group are doing. A little background on how the cafe came to be what it is now. In highschool I always wanted to go to a great youth group, somewhere I can just hang out, but because of certain circumstances at my church there wasn't a higschool youth program at the time. I then started to go to my best friend's youth group, and I loved it there. I had a great time and wished I had what they had at my church. This was where I started to pay attention to different details of how that youth group did things. Since I was going to college soon I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything just yet and soon the idea of starting a youth group started to disappear. Freshman year of college I was being taught about God's will and what that means to me. During that year and the next something was tugging on my heart to start the youth group. I wrestled for days on how I could start a youth group during college and if I should change my major to youth ministry. I decided to keep my major in business aviation, and yet still work on and read/study youth ministry. I started writing tons of ideas I could do, and developing what is now Cornerstone Cafe. With a lot of help from others, the cafe has come a long way and I couldn't have done it without the support of those people. Since I am done with school, I can focus on this ministry and be there for them. If you have any questions or would like to give a donation such as beanbags, cofee, tea, board games and card games, just leave a comment on this blog. I am very excited and know it will be a great time. So stop in and check it out!
