Sharon Simmons
Coffee Break Ministry Leader
Serve to Make a Difference

Coffee Break creates an easy, relaxed opportunity for the women of Christ Community to connect and build relationships on a weekly basis. Coffee Break is easy and relaxed in that (1) we meet right after church, (2) anyone can come and go as they please, (3) there is no set agenda other than we typically discuss the sermon, but we also discuss other pressing issues, whether personal or broader in scope, and (4) you don’t have to “do” anything other than show up!

This ministry is for any woman – any age, any status and any season of life, who desires to build connection with other women at Christ Community. Coffee Break provides encouragement, support and friendship.

Meeting Times

Coffee Break meets after service every Sunday via Zoom ("Coffee Break Online"). (Even ladies who attend church in person join the Zoom call from their cars.) In addition, on 2nd and 4th Sundays, Coffee Break meets in person after the church service ("Coffee Break Live"). Periodically, we do brunch instead of the typical online or in person gathering. Coffee Break meetings usually last from 1 1/2 to 2 hours, but that time is flexible for every participant.
