Business
BY JOVANNA AGUILAR
In a house built in New Caney in 1959, the scent of fresh co ee drifts through rooms once meant for family dinners and quiet evenings. Selling her own house to purchase the prop- erty that would become her business, Shouting Grounds Co ee Company owner Katie Carroll said she followed God’s will when she traded hard hats for espresso machines in February 2025. Staying local More than a place to grab a cup of co ee, Shout- ing Grounds was created as a gathering space for community, Bible studies and conversations. Longtime New Caney resident Carroll said with her background in construction renovation, she revamped a former empty house into a charming co ee spot that provides a homey, cozy atmosphere. With its original wood oors still in place, Shouting Grounds lls up with locals looking for a space to gather. In the former primary bedroom of the house, customers can nd a secluded area with furniture ideal for hosting private events and meetings. The space is open to the public and can be reserved for $25 an hour. In addition, Carroll said starting at $125 an hour, customers can reserve the entire venue for events and celebrations. What’s in the name Inspired by Psalm 100, a Bible scripture dis- played on the co ee shop’s wall, the name of the business represents the contents of the Bible verse, inviting all people to praise God for his goodness, love and faithfulness. “That’s why I have the music theme—all the instruments—it’s just about proclaiming, really, what the Lord has done in our lives and what he does in the lives of his people which gives joy,” Carroll said. In the home formerly owned by the church across the street, Key Life Fellowship, Carroll said through her business she hopes to ful ll God’s will to bring joy to her own community.
