Dinner Church
Your congregation can start a Dinner Church!
What is a dinner church?
A dinner church is simply the church gathered around the dinner table. Some dinner churches are large gatherings in fellowship halls; some are smaller gatherings meeting in restaurants or homes. Orders of worship differ from dinner church to dinner church. Some include short messages, some encourage table conversations, most have a time of community prayer, some have music, and some don’t.
Why start a dinner church?
Only 15% of Churches in the United State are reporting growth. Churches around the conference and across the country are seeing incredible growth through starting a dinner church. We have several churches in our conference with average Sunday worship attendance at 30 who have dinner churches with over 60 people! -
Dinner Church is based on the ministry of Jesus. John Dominic Crossan suggested, “To watch Jesus during an average day would revel him doing two things repeatedly: healing and eating.”
