All are Invited to the Table

The Table in Warner Robins, GA, may be located in the First Christian Church building, but it is a new church, rebranded, replanted, and renewed in its ministry and mission, with Pastor Chris Carter serving as the lead pastor. The new birth began in June 2021 after three months of prayer and fasting.  According to Pastor Chris, the name Table Church, or just Table, was chosen because it “reflects the kind of church we want to be,” a place where people can connect and feel that they belong. “Important conversations, meals that we share, take place around a table.” All are invited to the Table at First Christian Church where the mission of the church, based on Matthew 22:37-39, is “Love God. Love People.”

According to Pastor Chris, the greatest joy has been how the church has reconnected to the community. The church has focused in on the mission of serving persons who are struggling with homelessness, opening a warming center during cold months this past winter which offered meals and snacks, a warm place to sleep, and showers. Other recent ministry has included partnering with a local hospital, Houston Healthcare, to provide a community health fair, including free screenings and resources. 

The church is in a season of planning and fundraising, with an official relaunch scheduled for September 18, 2022. Alongside this work, the Table’s goal is that every worship gathering “inspires people to want more of God.” The church has grown from a dozen in worship a few years ago, to 48 members, and averaging 28 in-person and 35 online worshipers.
