Coffee, Not Conferences

Small gatherings that build real relationships

Not every connection needs a formal event. Meetups are informal gatherings — coffee, lunch, prayer walks — where 3-8 leaders get together for encouragement, collaboration, and friendship.

Real connections happen over coffee, not just at conferences

The Informality Gap

Big events are important, but relationships grow in smaller spaces. Leaders want to connect, but coordinating coffee with 4 people across 3 churches is surprisingly hard. Text threads get messy. No one wants to be 'that person' organizing again.

Make Small Gatherings Easy

Post a meetup. See who's interested. Show up. No registration forms, no formal agenda — just leaders connecting face-to-face over shared ministry.
