About this Event
Have you ever considered the power of a shared meal?
Have you ever imagined how your church's food pantry could become a faith community
Have you ever wondered how a dinner table could reconnect you to your neighborhood?
Leaders all across the country are rediscovering Jesus' dinner table theology that dominated the Apostolic Era. The present-day Dinner Church movement is giving leaders and churches a renewed ability to reach people who would never attend their Sunday morning gatherings.
This will be a live-streamed teaching and Dinner Church simulation in-person training.
