Table Groups

In our Table Groups, we hope to cultivate Belonging; a place to be face to face with God, ourselves, and our neighbors as we are found in Christ.

Table Groups are centered around a liturgy which mirrors our Sunday gathering. In it we gather, listen for God in his word, respond in prayer, make space at the table for each other, and are sent out.

They are called Table Groups because they are an extension of the communion table: as we encounter Jesus at the table on Sunday, so we encounter him around the table through each other—members of Christ’s body.

These Groups are seasonal, which means 1) they reflect the season of the church calendar we’re in, and 2) they are temporary, allowing for frequent on-ramps and off-ramps so you can reevaluate your needs and bandwidth.

We see Table Groups as a place for cultivating spiritual friendships—people with whom you may not share much in common in an earthly sense, but with whom you can share deep community because of what you hold in common in Christ. Spiritual friends are people who care about you as a whole person: mind, heart, soul, and strength, and want to see you flourish in those things in Christ.

Table Groups are not the only way to cultivate belonging in the church. Also consider our church Events or come to Coffee Hour after service.

Table Groups are not our primary pathway to apprenticing ourselves to Jesus, though these friends may help you along the way. If you’re looking to grow in in the formation of new habits, we would commend a Rule of Life to you.
