There’s something truly special about sharing a meal together—and we’re excited to announce that it’s time for another one of our community dinners! October's menu is enchiladas, beans and rice, salad and churros for dessert. Come hungry and ready to enjoy a feast prepared with love—plus, live music. There’s nothing quite like the sound of laughter, conversation, and community spirit under one roof.
We believe some of the best moments in life happen around a dinner table. It’s where we laugh, share our stories, and turn strangers into friends. For us, creating this space is an authentic way to live out our calling to love our neighbors. In a world that can feel divided, we wanted that same feeling of a welcoming family table for our entire neighborhood.
This is about more than just a free meal; it's about connection. We’ve found that when we make space for each other, something incredible happens. The walls that divide us start to come down, and we discover a deeper sense of hope and community. It’s in this simple act of gathering that we not only connect with each other, but we also find a path to becoming more like Jesus. We invite you to pull up a chair and experience this unique blend of community and faith for yourself.
Park in our lot or along the side streets. Enter in the door to the right of the main stairs. Head on up and join the crowd. Doors open at 5:30, dinner is served at 6. Hang out and visit as long as you'd like.
