Serving Up Invitational Community Lunches

One of the most memorable experiences for first-time visitors is our invitational community lunch. Several guests laughed as they recounted how members “were practically falling over each other to invite us over for lunch.” Whether it’s a casual potluck after worship or a weekday gathering in someone’s home, these meals offer an unparalleled opportunity to connect, share stories, and enjoy homemade dishes prepared with love. We believe that breaking bread together is one of the most powerful ways to cement new relationships and demonstrate God’s generosity in action.
