This morning, we had the privilege of hosting the Todd-Logan County Baptist Association committee as they gathered here to pray. As they prayed over our community, our businesses, and the people who walk through these doors, the Lord used that moment to gently remind me of something important.
As a new business owner, it’s easy to become consumed with menus, pastries, seasonal lattes, special dinners, events, and all the things that seem urgent. While none of those things are wrong, I realized I had begun giving more attention to what we offer than to why we exist.
Salt & Light Café was never meant to be just another café.
When we chose the name from Matthew 5:13-16, we did so with the intention of creating a place that reflects Christ, serves people well, and points others toward the hope found in Him. Somewhere along the way, I felt the Lord calling me to recalibrate and return to that foundation.
Today, I am recommitting myself—not only as a business owner, but as a follower of Jesus—to boldly share the Gospel and make Christ the center of everything we do. Our food, coffee, pastries, dinners, and events will continue to be expressions of hospitality and excellence, but they are not our purpose. They are simply tools that allow us to love and serve people.
Our purpose has always been, and will always be, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
I understand that this may not resonate with everyone, and that’s okay. Some may be more interested in the newest burger or seasonal latte, and we’ll continue striving to serve those things well. But I want to be transparent about who we are and why we’re here.
Thank you for supporting our family, our business, and the mission God has placed before us.
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33
