Welcome

Come Hungry

Enjoying a meal around a table is a uniquely human thing we do. Sharing that table with others reminds us that there is more to food than simply fueling our bodies. We feed our mind, body and soul as we experience community around the table. We invite you to join us at The Table Dallas as we create sacred space to worship, share our stories and explore how those stories intersect with the story God is writing in our world. There’s a seat for you at The Table.
