About Us
Welcome to The Upper Room...
The Upper Room is a Christian 'coffeehouse' outreach located in Irvine, California. We are self-funded and donor-based, independent ministry which was started in 2009. The name comes from a biblical reference found in the book of Acts, where the disciples had gathered after Jesus resurrection. The name also has a whimsical twist in that our events are sometimes held on the 2nd floor of our building.
We hold events and invite various speakers, musical artist, authors and persons of note in the Christian community to come and share their insights, teaching and giftedness. Our events are held in a 'coffeehouse' type setting. We are not a church, nor are we affiliated with any church or ministry organization. We are in no way attempting to provide an alternative to church attendance. In fact, it is our desire to be a support to the local church bodies in providing additional outreach.
Our purpose is to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ with a desire to provide a place for those to come and be uplifted, spiritually fed, encouraged as well as entertained. It is equally our desire to provide an environment where the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be preached to those in need of salvation and spiritual nourishment.
The Upper Room is registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We exist on private financing as well as donor gifts. Our events are held free of charge; however, we do accept donations. We hope to see you at our next event.
Sincerely,
THE UPPER ROOM
