                     THIS IS A FREE EVENT!
Every Thursday morning, Pastor Don opens up the church to the community, and everyone is invited to stop by for a free cup of coffee and some time to practice talking to each other in English. 

​

NOTE: The grounds of the church are currently under construction, but we're still having coffee and conversations anyways. Just come on in, grab a cup, and have fun! 

Aimed largely at elementary, middle school, and high school students, this is an opportunity for you to come to the church and get help with your homework in English! You can bring your English homework and get some native-level help with it, or just bring your usual homework and practice English while working on it. Everyone is welcome. Not only that, but it's totally free, which is a lot cheaper than a juku!
