Free Wi-Fi hot spot! This is an arts centered, interactive community/coffee shop designed for young people to come and connect with one another and with people who love and care for them.
We offer specialty coffees and teas, as well as serve fresh snacks and sandwiches. We host local and regional teams of various artists, including both Christian and non-Christian (though still clean and family friendly). We have coffee clay available for all our customers to create and design and express themselves during their visit. We will also showcase exceptional coffee clay designs!
As we grow, we plan to include an internet radio station which will be based inside the coffee shop, with microphones at the tables which can be turned on by the DJ to include interactive questions and conversations which can be broadcast over the radio station, so that anyone on a computer or smart phone can remain connected with the Clay Café community, regardless of where they are. We will play both Christian and non-Christian contemporary and rock music, as well as broadcast live shows from the Clay Café from visiting artists. The radio station will be a talk-back, interactive medium, engaging the customers and community.
We would also like to eventually be opened 24 hours a day, allowing people to come at anytime, day or night. When the bars let out at 2AM, we want Clay Café to be the place that everyone goes.
Ministry areas (prayer closets) are another thing we want to provide at Clay Café. Though we will not inundate incoming customers with evangelistic rhetoric, we do plan to have volunteers who are there simply to connect with people. Having some rooms for ministry not only creates a place for those volunteers to come and pray, but also will be a place to take people who are hurting and need to talk and receive ministry in a more private setting. These ministry areas can also provide a venue, for those called to it, to maintain a 24/7 prayer time.
