Sweet Surrender Coffee House
Remember that Sweet Surrender Coffee House is the way in which this ministry reaches out to the community in order to share Christ. The shop is the first step to build Bible study groups and eventually to organize a new Church of the Nazarene.

Already in place is the nucleus of three families, natives of Poland. They are prepared to minister to the community and to organize a new Church of the Nazarene when the people are ready. Also in place are several volunteers who are ready to assist in opening and running the shop and to participate in helping to develop the new faith community. First, we need the Sweet Surrender Coffee Shop to open!
