Come and Meet Us — Faith Café and the Outpost
Come and Meet Us
Most of what we do is written and filmed so that anyone, anywhere, can pick it up and use it. But some things are better said face to face. A screen is not a table, and a letter is not a conversation. So if you are in or around Carlisle, there are two places you can come and sit with us — and you would be very welcome at either.
☕ Faith Café — every Saturday, 9.30am
Faith Café is our Saturday morning. We meet at the Cathedral Café in Carlisle from 9.30am to around 11.30am, and the whole thing is a cuppa and a conversation: what is on your heart, the questions you have not been able to ask anywhere else, and time to talk together about all things that pertain to Christ.
There is no programme to sit through and nothing to sign. Whether you have walked with the Lord for years or you are only just beginning, you will not be out of place. When you arrive, look out for our water bottle on the table, labelled Faith Café, and come and sit down. Or just surprise us and turn up — we will put the kettle on.

🏠 The Outpost — Tuesdays & Thursdays, 7.30pm
The Outpost is our house fellowship, and it is the room the Tuesday and Thursday teachings come out of. The Book is open on the table, the kettle is on, and we work through the Word together plainly until it lands in the week. It is family, talking.
If you have read a Tuesday or Thursday teaching and thought, “I would like to sit in that room,” this is that room. There is a seat at the table for you, and you do not need to know anybody to come.
Why we call it the Outpost
The name is deliberate. An outpost is not the centre of things — it is a small place set down on the frontier, where a few keep the light on and the door open for whoever comes along. That is what this is: not a congregation with a programme, but a handful of believers round the table with the Book open, working through it until it lands in the week. And an outpost is somewhere you are sent from as well as to, which is why what we work through on a Tuesday and Thursday goes out as teaching for anyone, anywhere, who needs it.

📬 If you are further afield
Everything we make is free, and free to pass on. If you are not near Carlisle, the teachings, the videos and The Christian Compass every Sunday are all there for you, and you are not missing anything by reading rather than sitting in the room. And if you would like David to come and teach at your church, your home fellowship or your Bible study group, write to us with Visit in the subject line.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. [Hebrews 10:25 KJV]
God bless you.
