This video highlights the story of The Main Cup, a coffee shop in Cynthiana, Kentucky, that grew out of a church’s desire to connect more deeply with its community.

Once an unused parsonage slated for possible demolition, the building was reimagined after church leaders participated in the New Beginnings program and clarified a renewed sense of mission. With the support of a dedicated board and a simple vision centered on relationships and quality coffee, The Main Cup opened despite early uncertainty.
