General Information for Music Ministries at the Mill Church Café

The Mill Church Café’s Purpose

 It is our goal at the Mill Church Café to provide a Christ Centered venue for Christians to have fun, fellowship and to be encouraged.  It is also our goal to provide a place of ministry for those who have yet to experience the saving love, grace and forgiveness of our Lord, Jesus Christ.   It is our vision to be ‘holy and set apart’ for the furthering of God’s Kingdom.  We do not believe that we need to be like the world, or use the music or personalities of the world to draw people to Jesus.  We believe it is the power of the Holy Spirit, and what is ‘different’ in our lives that will draw people to Him.   As evil so blatantly and vehemently increases in this world, it is imperative that we set ourselves apart and become a beacon for those who are ready to receive their freedom from the deception and bondage they have been entangled in for so long.   We believe this can only be accomplished if we totally submit ourselves to the power of the Holy Spirit and likeness of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind…”    Ephesians 4:17 NKJ
