Our heart is for people.

​

At ARISE we hope to act as a catalyst for community and growth. There's something about sharing a drink with someone -whether it be coffee or anything else- that starts to break down walls. This is what we hope to see.

We want people to be friends with our baristas, to come and have their church plant or start-up company work in our co-working space. We want people to come and study alone or together. We want to host student group events. We want to support community and student efforts however possible. We want to have coffee throwdowns and classes to learn to taste and how to be a barista. We want people to enjoy the best coffee, tea, beer, and wine available as they do these things.

​

To accomplish these things we are looking to renovate a house near High Street ad Asbury or move into a space along University Avenue. We will partner with student groups such as YoungLife, Cru, and USG, hosting events and empowering their missions. We will support children around the world who wish to grow as well through Compassion International and enable our friends to do the same.  We will support our friends by utilizing other small businesses to supply our coffee, tea, beer, and wine. We will support creating community through workshops around tasting our drinks and learning about being a barista. We will support growth through a mini library, fast wi-fi, outlets galore, a co-working space, and study rooms for people, churches, and companies to become better versions of themselves.
