What if you could create a comfortable place and time for people to gather weekly to explore life and faith?

What if it looked and felt like the kind of place you typically meet a friend for food and drink and fun? What if the atmosphere encouraged conversations, questions, and personal stories? What if the conversations about life somehow led to an ah-ha of God’s real presence and his genuine love?

Those questions led to Lifetree Café. Now each week people gather in cozy venues to explore life and faith. The hour-long Lifetree Café experiences feature real stories of real people, guided conversation, time to build relationships with new and old friends, laughter, fun, spiritual insights, and opportunities to serve.

Lifetree Café offers a casual physical environment, warm hospitality, a safe place for questions and doubts, and an encouraging atmosphere for participants to share their own stories.

Lifetree stories dig into the big and little stuff that shapes our lives. Family. Friends. Fears. Busyness. Balance. Money. Materialism. Health.

The weekly Lifetree experiences are designed by Group Publishing, the award-winning Christian resource creator.

The Lifetree Café experience unfolds in a carefully designed space. Furnishings include small round tables and comfortable chairs—in a cozy café-like setting. Lifetree Café venues, like quality coffee cafes, are intentionally small, serving up to 50.

And the Lifetree Café experience also connects people to LifetreeCafe.com, where the weekly conversation continues online.

Local Lifetree Cafes are part of a national and international system. Similar to a chain of restaurants or shops, the public recognizes the Lifetree Café brand regardless of where they live or may travel. And each week Lifetree Cafes everywhere offer the same nationally promoted program.

Lifetree Café does not replace existing ministries or activities. Instead it offers new opportunities to reach the community:

• a turnkey system to grow a ministry that is completely sustainable and scalable
• a fresh way to introduce Christ and spread God's love
• a new way to involve and energize volunteers in ministry
• thorough strategy and operating guides with step-by-step instructions for success and effectiveness including how to organize, gain support, raise funds, attract volunteers, train volunteer staff, build, operate, grow, and impact your community
• delivered kits of weekly programming, including leader guides, media components, and participant take-aways
• thorough initial and ongoing training for Lifetree volunteer staff
• linkage into Lifetree national, regional and local promotion, including interactive web communities-to build public awareness of your Café, keep your participants engaged throughout the week, and receive ideas and suggestions from other Lifetree leaders across the country
• convenient source for Lifetree supplies and products
