hospitality
N O R F O L K, V A
At Table Church we believe hospitality is more than a kind gesture—it is a sacred opportunity. Jesus came “eating and drinking,” showing that meals were His setting for ministry. Around tables He welcomed sinners, healed the broken, and revealed the heart of God. Hospitality was His evangelism, His way of breaking barriers and building community. At Table Church, we follow His example: opening homes, sharing meals, and making space where strangers become family and the gospel becomes tangible.

for evangelism
Like Jesus, we want our tables to be places of invitation. A shared meal is one of the best ways to begin conversations about life, hope, and faith. Around food, hearts soften and trust grows. We encourage our communities to see their weekly meals as opportunities for gospel witness—spaces where people can encounter the love of God in both word and deed.
forevangelism
At Table Church, our mission is to follow Jesus together through intentional discipleship, rooted in the rhythms of spiritual disciplines and lived out in authentic community. We gather around the table sharing meals, stories, and our lives where faith is formed and relationships are deepened. As a house church, we seek to be the Church in its simplest and most intimate form: loving God, loving one another, and inviting others to the table.
for community
The early church gathered in homes, breaking bread together with glad and sincere hearts. At Table Church we imitate this rhythm by making hospitality central to our gatherings. Around tables, we do not just talk about Jesus—we learn His way of life in community. Hospitality creates the space for discipleship to happen in natural, relational ways, as stories are told, questions asked, and prayers shared.
Jesus told His followers not to only invite friends or the wealthy but to welcome the poor, the outsider, and those who cannot repay. We seek to practice that same downward hospitality. By inviting the overlooked to our tables, we participate in God’s justice and reflect His generous heart. In a culture marked by loneliness and fractured families, hospitality becomes a radical act of love that sets the solitary in families.Every home in Table Church is envisioned as an outpost of God’s Kingdom—a place where neighbors can experience grace, where the gospel is lived out one dinner at a time. We believe our tables are extensions of the Lord’s Table, where all are welcome and where Jesus Himself is host.
