History:

CH/COF was set up by a small group of staff from the Abbotsford Group Home.  It was in response to a similar program that was running, and who voiced their objection to the loud behaviors of some of the individuals from the home.  They were no longer welcomed to go.  And so, this small group of staff graciously asked New Life Christian Reformed Church if they could meet in their basement.  This the church agreed to and so the first few events were attended by a small handful of people.  The year was 2000.

As time progressed, and as the word got out, the basement become to small to hold this event.  We moved upstairs to accommodate more people attending and joining this worship and fellowship time.  At present, spring 2007, approximately 150-180 people are attending.  The Lord’s blessing has certainly been with this program/ministry.  We welcome all to come and experience Coffee House, worshiping and enjoying each others company.

Planning:

Throughout the year we have celebration events such as a Summer Barbeque and a Christmas Party.  Over the years we have gone through the summer with Coffee House, and on other years we have taken a break.
