New Church - New Coffeehouse

New Church Opens New Coffeehouse Last April an new church started here in Bixby,Oklahoma. Lord of Life Lutheran Church opened its doors at 13160 South Memorial Drive. “It’s a building that has seen several tenants in the past” said Jonathan Schultz the minister. “There was a paper goods store, tax service and a guitar center before us. We are located just North of Destiny Childcare Center and across the street from Ron’s Restaurant and a beautiful new bank is two lots over to our North.” Lord of Life is the only Lutheran Church within a 5 mile radius. The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod has a vision to reach one hundred million people by 2017. To accomplish this they have determined they will need at least 2000 new churches in the U.S. alone. “The Tulsa area gets to start 6 new churches and we are the second one started” Schultz said. Other plants include starts in Glenn Pool, Broken Arrow, Skiatook, and Clayton. Soon a new Coffeehouse with a familiar name will open in Bixby. “We decided to start our church differently by hosting a community coffeehouse. Lutherans love to drink coffee and they love to visit. Hence the church coffeehouse was a natural.” And when the church contacted Karin Loudermilk about using the Goodies name a plan came together. “We will offer coffees, teas, smoothies, frappe’s, lattes, cappuccinos, espresso’s, Italian sodas, soft drinks and prepackaged treats. There are meeting rooms available as well as free WIFI, printing and fax services. There is even a safe childcare area with glass doors so mom can watch her children while she enjoys her drink and snack” Said Schultz. “Add large screen TV’s with Wii’s and Play Stations and we have something for everyone.” Goodies Community Coffeehouse will be open daily from 6:00 am to 8:00pm Monday through Saturday. The church will have the same hours plus be open on Sundays.
