Zera Coffee is more than just a coffee shop—it's a ministry with a mission. As part of Denton Freedom House, a Christ-centered nonprofit dedicated to breaking the chains of addiction, Zera provides a sober, healthy workplace where men and women are transformed into prosperous disciples of Jesus Christ.

Every cup you enjoy at Zera is part of something bigger. Our baristas are living testimonies of God's redeeming power—individuals who have been set free from sin and addiction and are now planting seeds of hope back into the community. With each drink we serve, we’re not just pouring coffee; we’re pouring out the love of Christ, sharing stories of freedom, and glorifying the One who makes all things new.

This is COFFEE WITH A CAUSE!

Meet Our AM Shift Manager

Scott Henderson

Scott came through Denton Freedom House in 2017 as a broken man, but through the transforming power of Jesus, his life was made new. Since then, he’s faithfully served in several areas of DFH, but today, he’s found his home at Zera Coffee as one of our managers. Scott and his wife, Paige, were married in 2021 and are raising their two little boys, Landon and Titus, along with Scott’s sweet daughter, Evelyn. He loves getting to work alongside the DFH residents, serve the community with great coffee, and share the heart behind Coffee with a Cause—where every cup is part of God’s story of hope and restoration.
