(ABC 6 News) — A church in Anoka is expanding its reach in the community by serving up a cup of coffee.

Compassion Church is planning on opening up its own coffee shop on Main Street next month to help those in need.

The main mission is to help people impacted by homelessness.

“It’s where people gather and build relationships,” said Pastor Rob Bergfalk. “It’s a way for us to show care, concern and compassion to those in need and those in the community.”
