Coffee Oasis, is it a coffee shop or is it a ministry? Well, it's really both! It is a coffee shop that serves great coffee. But it is also a Christian ministry that provides a variety of services to homeless teenagers in Kitsap County. The coffee shop helps fund the ministry! Of course our heart is in supporting the teenagers that frequent the Oasis center located on Bay Street. Just so you know, the lounge is open weekday afternoons from 2-5PM. On Fridays they reopen in the evening to provide dinner and a program. What you can't see in the sign is the logo, "Real Coffee, Real Hope"
The centers are simply a safe place to hang out, get a bite to eat, participate in organized activities. Staff and volunteers are always engaging in conversation with a desire to help the youth move toward the future.
Several FBC members are helping by providing a meal on Tuesday afternoons for the teenagers. Would you like to be a part? Want more information? Contact Jim Riddell at the church, 360-876-2374 or office@fbcpo.org.
