The Table exists because “almost affirming” wasn’t enough.

We try to be

• Thoughtful.

  We value thoughtfulness in how we approach faith, life, and the people around us. In short, don’t be a jerk.

• Inclusive.

  Everyone belongs regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. You don’t have to hide.

• Eclectic.

  We follow Jesus and draw from the various stories, traditions, and practices of the broader church in all her expressions. We also profoundly respect non-Christian religious traditions and see them as siblings on the journey towards love of God and neighbor.

• Communal.

  We try to be present for each other — Sundays, weekdays, easy seasons and hard ones.

• Vulnerable.

  We tell our actual stories. We try to be honest about what we don’t yet understand.
