If The Living Room Cafe did not exist...

The Living Room Cafe is a ministry of Zion Bishan BP Church that is a space for people in the community to make themselves at home over good food, great company and pleasant ambiance. What if this cafe did not exist?We wouldn’t be seeing friends and strangers from the community stepping into our church on a regular basis, Monday to Saturday, through the year.

We wouldn’t be offering free meals four times a year, with volunteers from church, and drop-ins from the community.

We wouldn’t have our gates open through the day with a seamless connection with the community outside.

We wouldn’t appear in secular websites as a place to visit.

We wouldn’t be known as a place where good food and beverage complements our offer of spiritual nourishment.

We wouldn’t have a place where members and friends can be meaningfully employed either part-time or full-time.

We wouldn’t be making connection with neighbourhood schools as well as other secular establishments in Bishan, enjoying meals with us.

We wouldn’t be hosting groups of friends from other churches taking advantage of our quality food, service and ambience.

We wouldn’t have a place we can call home for our staff to welcome and meet with people for hospitality and ministry.

Finally, if The Living Room Cafe did not exist, we wouldn't have a ministry that stretched out over weeks, months and years instead of a one-off "hit and run" event.
