Union Coffee: The Non-Derivative Church with Rev. Katie Newsome and Andrew Bennett
Manage episode 474935830 series 3561191
In this third episode of our series on Carey Nieuwhof’s 5 Disruptive Church Trends That Will Rule 2025, we explore The Rise of the Non-Derivative Church, a movement toward fresh, innovative expressions of faith that break away from traditional models. One powerful example of this shift is Union Coffee, a Dallas-based café that blends faith, social impact, and hospitality into a ministry beyond the walls of a conventional church.
Host Rev. Daniel Hawkins is joined by Rev. Katie Newsome and head of Union Coffee’s board, Andrew Bennet. Together they share how Union Coffee creates a space where deep, authentic conversations about faith, justice, and community happen naturally—without the formality or expectations of a Sunday service. From supporting local nonprofits to hosting open mic nights and fostering relationships across different faith backgrounds, Union Coffee exemplifies what it means to be a church shaped by the needs of its community.
