About the Job
The Well Coffee House is seeking a long-term, career-oriented, and missionally-minded team of barista-missionaries to meet the growing demand in our existing coffee shops and to staff future coffee shops / church plants. The Well Coffee House offers competitive compensation packages that include full and comprehensive health & wellness, spiritual, and financial benefits.
The Well Coffee House:
The Well Coffee House ("The Well" or "TWCH") is a 501(c)3 Christian nonprofit coffee house ministry with the threefold mission of: 1) creating welcoming coffee houses that present opportunities for our barista-missionaries to develop relationships that lead to Gospel presentations and Church invitations, 2) partnering with local pastors and church planters to plant gospel-forward, biblically-based, and missionally-minded churches in urban environments where church planting efforts are met with unique strategic, cultural, and financial challenges, and 3) supporting local charities that provide care and compassion services in areas of critical human need.
The Position:
Baristas at The Well are front-line missionaries in the ministry of the Gospel and Church planting. While the day-to-day responsibilities include traditional barista activities like preparing high-quality espresso and coffee drinks, managing cash register operations, and maintaining a clean and inviting cafe environment, the role extends far beyond these tasks. Our baristas are the heart and soul of our mission, engaging with customers through genuine, thoughtful conversations, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages community and fellowship. They are tasked with sharing the love and teachings of Christ in a natural, respectful manner, integrating faith into their interactions and service.
