Dinner Church Training & Simulation: A Food to Faith Initiative

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.
