Why would a church open a coffee shop in the middle of a (largely) empty downtown Tyler in 2014? We wanted to know too, so we sat down with Campus Pastor of the Bethel Bible Downtown, Eric Barton, to find out why. Eric is a brilliant communicator, who's vision and love for our community, led Bethel to embark on something we're pretty excited about. Hint: it's the whole reason we're here!

The Foundry is a unique shop. We don't function like you'd expect a church coffee shop to function. There are no Bible verses on the wall and we never hand out tracts. There is, however, a real focus on excellent coffee and even better hospitality, with no strings attached. We hope that's been your experience. 

Join us as we dive deep and talk about the good things happening right here in downtown Tyler, Tx!

Wishful Drinking is (almost) always recorded live in Downtown Tyler, Tx at The Foundry Coffee House over a delicious cup of coffee.
