Conversations Over Coffee - 2026

About This Event

Join Bridge of Grace for our six-session series, Conversations Over Coffee!

Our goal is to promote learning and understanding to positively influence the service and revitalization of southeast Fort Wayne and beyond. We invite you to join the conversation. 

Our thought-provoking series starts on January 8th with a presentation by Javier Mondragon, inspired by Ruby Payne's The Frameworks of Poverty. We will meet the second Thursday of each month through June. Don't worry if you can't attend every session; each meeting helps build your knowledge, but missing one won't set you back in your learning journey.

Each month, doors open and coffee will be ready at 7:30 am. The conversation will start at 8 am.

Enter through Door 2B on the north side of our new building. Parking is available in our lot located off of Fairfax Ave (east of our new building).
