SIDE DOOR CAFE

who we are

The Side Door Cafe is a coffee house/game room open to young adults (18+). It is a safe, fun, open environment where people can hang out, socialize, unwind, and get to know other young adults. It is also a safe place to ask questions and discuss the concerns about life that we all have. All are welcome!

We also have amazing coffee drinks and good food every week. 

We hope to see you there.

The Compass

​The compass is a group where young adults meet and can ask questions about culture, life, and other relevant issues where a biblical Christian Worldview is presented in light of the topics discussed.  It's  an open discussion format where everyone is free to share their thoughts and consider what the Bible may say about the issues of the day.

All young adults are welcome - we respect and enjoy hearing from those with a wide variety of backgrounds and beliefs.. ​

Psalm 119:105

Meet the Team

Hi, I'm Dan and this is my wife Lisa. We have attended and served at Northgate Church during our 25 years of marriage. I have my purple belt in Jiu Jitsu and love to train. I have used my techniques on deer as part of my job as a PA Game Warden :) . We are the parents of two boys in their 20s. After they graduated high school and made it through COVID, we saw a need to provide a safe space where young adults could hangout, have a good time and connect with others. It has also led to many deep, meaningful discussions so we started a side group called Compass to go more deeply into topics and provide a Biblical perspective. We’d love to have you join us on Fridays!

Hi, I'm Aaron! I've began attending Northgate Church since early 2023. October of that year, I fully committed my life to Jesus. I have a wife and two beautiful children. I have an extensive background in the coffee industry which led me to serving Side Door Cafe. It was a perfect way to share my passion for coffee and love for Jesus. My prayer for the young adults is that it is a safe place for you all to come and hang out and have open discussions about Biblical truth.

"Being a member of the Side Door Cafe has been a positive influence on my life and is something I look forward to attending every week. Our Friday nights are a perfect opportunity to decompress from the week and enjoy each other’s presence (while sipping on some amazing coffee). In addition to our Friday nights, our group holds events such as holiday parties, cookouts, camping, mini golf, and so much more.

Beyond the fun company, it's amazing to be part of a group that’s focused on helping others come to know Jesus. The sense of community and purpose is really special. 

I got baptized in May of 2023 because of this group and my relationship with Christ has been flourishing. I am forever grateful for the Side Door Cafe and the impact it made on my walk with God."
