Core Value Blog Series: (Friendship)

Ever since his daughter attended college in Greenville, Vernon has had a passion for the discipleship of college students.  Vernon and his wife Maria have also had a tremendous heart for missions over the years and have both traveled to quite a few countries around the world.  Their desire to couple these passions resulted in a lot of prayer and soul searching.  During this process, they were drawn to the Clemson community and its large population of International Students.  After exploring several options, they decided to capitalize on Maria’s ability to bake and finally landed on the idea of opening a coffee shop that also served a delectable selection of her home baked goods.  It’s their desire that out of this platform deep, lasting friendships can be forged and potentially lead to the founding of several Bible Studies in the adjacent conference room.  When you come into “All In” Coffee Shop it’s our goal that you’ll always find a friendly face behind the front counter, and we would like to see many of you transition from being mere customers to lifelong friends.
