Training

A part of Fresh Expressions - a  distinctive FX model.

Dinner Church is a table-centered expression of church that reclaims one of the most ancient and human practices-

 sharing a meal.


Rooted in the life of Jesus and the early church, it invites strangers to become friends, stories to be shared, and lives to be transformed.


While many churches are familiar with potlucks and fellowship meals, Dinner Church reimagines those gatherings through a missional lens, creating a sacred space for community, hospitality, and the Gospel. It’s not just about feeding people—it’s about forming new faith communities around the table.


Starting a Dinner Church is simple, but not easy. That’s why we offer connection, training, and resources to walk with you every step of the way.
