Where We Learn to Belong Together
Come Sit at the Table
Bring your coffee. Bring your questions. Bring yourself.
The Table is where the life we share with God becomes the life we share with each other.
In the Daily Chapel, we make room for solitude and communion with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. What we receive there is meant to travel with us into relationship. His presence begins to shape our presence with people.
Around the Table, we practice this together—in conversation and stories, laughter and prayer, honest questions and healthy disagreement, forgiveness and repair. We keep learning the unhurried art of loving and being loved.
“If all you do is read our website, we both miss out.”
— Michael & Terri“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” — Acts 2:42
The Monthly Table
Come as you are. We'd love to see your face.
The Monthly Table is our free, open online gathering for anyone interested in relational discipleship, spiritual formation, and life together in Christ. This is not simply another webinar or teaching lecture. We gather to interact, converse, reflect, pray, tell stories, practice quieting, and get to know one another.
Settle into your favorite chair with a cup of coffee, warm tea, or a glass of wine. You don't have to come with answers or something impressive to say. Come as you are. Listen, join the conversation when you'd like, and spend a little unhurried time with us.
We keep these gatherings small enough for conversation, so advance registration helps us prepare.

What Makes a Place Feel Like Home?
Home isn't a gathering of flawless people. It's a place where we're learning to make room for one another. Here's some of what we're reaching for together.
“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth… so that they should seek the Lord… though He is not far from each one of us.”— Acts 17:26–27 NKJV
A place to exhale
A place where we can learn to drop the exhausting posture of self-protection and simply catch our breath.
Someone is glad you’re here
We want to learn to receive one another with genuine delight—not as projects to fix or slots to fill.
“I delight in people. I take joy in them. I notice what is lovely about them and call it out.” — Terri
Room for your actual story
Space to bring our joys, scars, questions, and honest humanity without pretending.
To listen and be heard
Attentive listening that values each other's hearts rather than rushing to give advice.
No performance required
A space where we don't have to perform, impress, or pretend to belong.
Differences don't end relationship
We can disagree, misunderstand one another, and even experience rupture—and learn the humble work of repair.
“We keep the relationship bigger than the problem.” — Life Model Wisdom
Fearless Joy at the Table
Fearless Joy does not mean fear never enters the room. It means fear no longer has to run the conversation or determine how we treat one another. As we become more rooted in God's love, we can learn to stay loving, truthful, peaceful, and present—even when relationships get hard.
“Perhaps God counts more of our life together as prayer than we realize. When friends sit together in honesty, affection, and mutual care, listening and remembering what God has done, the Lord takes notice. Ordinary conversation around a table can become a quiet sanctuary of communion.”
“Then those who feared the LORD spoke with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in His presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored His name.”— Malachi 3:16
We Don't Mature Alone
Spiritual and emotional maturity is not an isolated achievement. It is the fruit of remaining relationally connected to God and to one another across time.
Whenever you are ready, pull up a chair. We would love to share in the journey with you.
