CofeeTalks Goals:Increase engagement with Millennial's and Gen X at the church Explore ways in which faith can intersect with popular issues and topic Find what ideas and issues are relevant to people in NYC Be a location where all can share their ideas in a safe environment
The coffee talks are 10-15 minute talks in a TED talk or panel-like format. Each series will have 2-4 speakers and will be geared towards a specific theme (i.e. Artificial Intelligence or Gentrification in Manhattan).
Following all the discussions, we will allow the attendees to have an informal Q&A with the speakers over coffee to allow for more dialogue and foster new connections. In addition, we will capture feedback through a survey and provide means for donations for people to support the initiative going forward.
These talks provide a unique way for the church to engage with a community and allow people to disconnect from their devices for a bit and hear about the lives of others around them in a more complete format.
