Sunday Family Table

Family Gathering
Outline

Agenda, vision, and next steps for the quarter ahead

From one table to many tables

"Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled."Luke 14:23 · ESV
Today's conversation is about becoming a church that sets open tables for neighbors - who set open tables for others - until every neighbor has a place to encounter Jesus.

Vision & Mission

Jesus at every table. Renewal in every neighborhood.

We are a people open to Jesus, formed in His ways, setting open tables of renewal for every neighbor.

Our Values

The kind of people we are becoming

These values shape the culture of our tables, our gatherings, and our presence in the neighborhood.

1

Contagious Hospitality

We create a culture of unreasonable welcome because Jesus welcomed us first. There's always room at the table.

2

Spiritual Formation

We are being transformed-spiritually, emotionally, and relationally-through rhythms and relationships centered on Jesus.

3

Intentional Presence

We move at the pace of being known, honoring each person's story and walking with them in grace and truth.

4

Creative Witness

We reflect God's beauty through storytelling, art, music, and everyday acts of creativity-inviting others to see and know Him.

5

Collective Impact

We're not in this alone. We join with others-churches, neighbors, friends-to see God's kingdom come in Edgehill as it is in heaven.
