Brewing Connection, One Cup at a Time

On a chilly December morning at the Huberville Parade, neighbors gathered in a Huber Heights community park. Among the floats and festive music, one small cart stood out, not for its size, but for the warmth it offered. Vision Coffee, a portable coffee cart launched by Christian Life Center by a $2,600 investment, was there pouring more than just hot drinks. With every cup came a smile, a kind word, and an open door to conversation about faith and community. More than beverages, the Vision Coffee Cart is a ministry tool, designed to meet people where they are and extend invitations to church. At Butler Township's National Night Out in August, nearly 300 people stopped, each welcomed with the same message of love and belonging. Teachers at Morton Middle School and New Carlisle Elementary, along with businesses like R. Anthony's Hair Salon, have also experienced its impact in smaller, everyday settings. Whether serving 25 educators in a lounge or hundreds at a public event, Vision Coffee Cart embodies Christian Life Center's mission: to know God, be His people, value others and change our world. Sometimes, it all begins with a cup of coffee.
