Our Team
Uncommon Grounds Café is more the people who make it up than a location on a map. Our team keeps our wheels turning and our community loved. Come in and meet them!
Andrenna Williams
Director & Church Army Captain
Evangelist Andrenna William’s journey with Church Army & Uncommon Grounds started when she rededicated her life to the Lord in 2014. Ever since then she’s been faithful to the call on her life to love her community and minister to those just like her. Jesus was faithful to rescue her from her own brokenness and return her to the lineage of faith she was born into. As an Aliquippa native and the oldest daughter of The Franklin Center Founder (#LongLiveLo), it is an act of God’s grace that Andrenna gets to fearlessly lead the UGC team in ministry on the Ave!
LAnda OWens
Chef extraordinaire, Landa brings passion and excitement to her culinary creations. She is always looking for a new offering for our clients.
Ms. Ada
Our resident mom, Ms. Ada is always ready with a warm hug, encouragement, and simple act of service. Ms. Ada’s heart for our community makes her the perfect person to answer your questions and help you take a deep breath. You’ll likely find her sitting down with someone deep in conversation or helping out the kitchen staff with any of their needs.
In loving memory of
Paul McDaniels
1961-2024
Uncommon Grounds isn’t the same without Paul in the room. Our expert dishwasher and all around helper-outer, Paul would lend a hand to any task with the utmost joy. Whether you saw him wiping down tables, enjoying good conversation, or lifting his voice in song, he brought endless joy and was the epitome of a servant at the Cafe. He is forever in our hearts.
