About the Business

In 2009, Brett Swayn and Terry Kemper, in concert with friends and area churches, created the Upper Room. In the beginning, the program fed and sheltered six homeless men in a church gymnasium. Today, the program welcomes as many as 90 homeless men twice a week, where they receive a hot meal and a safe place to sleep. Out of that, Lambscroft Ministries was born. Currently, this movement also includes the establishment of two Discipleship Houses, occupied by formerly homeless men seeking spiritual study and community.

The Cookery, in addition to serving coffee and a full menu to the public, has a greater purpose. In The Cookery's kitchen, Brett instils culinary crafts to select homeless men in order to prepare them for employment in Nashville's food industry. "Through all of this, God has taught us perseverance, resilience, patience, and trust."

Established in 2013.
