Welcome to The Open Table

There are plenty of places in the world where you’re expected to have your mind made up. The Open Table isn’t one of them.

We exist because many of us are carrying questions we don’t often get to ask out loud. Questions about meaning. About purpose. About faith. About why life can feel so beautiful one moment and so fragile the next. Questions that don’t fit neatly into small talk. We’re not gathering because we all agree. We’re gathering because we’re curious.
The Open Table is a space for thoughtful, respectful conversation about life’s biggest questions. We meet in an ordinary setting, around ordinary tables, with ordinary drinks...and we talk about the things that are anything but ordinary.
You don’t have to believe anything to come. You don’t have to call yourself religious.
You just need a willingness to listen, to speak honestly, and to make room for other perspectives. This isn’t a debate club, and it isn’t a class. No one is keeping score. No one is trying to win. We believe that good conversations don’t start with pressure...they start with trust.
At Open Table, we begin with shared human experience: our hopes, our doubts, our longings, our stories. Along the way, themes often surface...belonging, forgiveness, justice, rest, love, meaning. These are the kinds of things every culture and every person wrestles with. Sometimes, we’ll gently explore how the story of Jesus speaks into those longings. Not forcefully. Not as a sales pitch. But as an invitation to consider a bigger story.
We believe people are more than problems to be solved. They’re people to be known.
So if you’ve ever wanted a place where you can think out loud…Where questions are welcomed, not shut down…Where conversation matters more than conclusions…
Pull up a chair.
There’s a seat for you at the table.
