Summit — Dinner Church Collective

Dinner Church Summit

The Inaugural Gathering of the Dinner Church Collective

November 9th-11th, 2023 | Orlando, FL

New Dinner Churches are popping up every day!

Jesus' followers of all stripes are rediscovering the power of gathering around a table. New people are experiencing God's grace, and old congregations are being re-energized.

Inspired by the practices of Jesus and the first churches, Dinner Church is a simple, ancient, and biblical approach. But it's also long-term, complex, and spiritually demanding work.

If you want to see your Dinner Church grow, deepen, or even multiply, you will need some help.

Come to the inaugural Dinner Church Summit and be a part of developing a family of pioneers passionate about recapturing this powerful expression of God’s kingdom. Meet colleagues who become friends, all while eating well, worshiping heartily, and learning tangible practices for building a Dinner Church movement.

An event unlike
any summit
you’ve been to

What is a Dinner Church Summit without meaningful mealtime? We will be using dinner time frames (food provided) to share in a dinner church experience together. Jesus' stories, music, art, and strangers becoming friends. Come get a taste of inspiration for your own dinner church.
One of the goals of the summit is to connect you with people who understand your context. Meetups will be a space to not only meet Dinner Church leaders leading in a similar context but also have collaborative conversations about what it looks like for you to do Dinner Church.
Meetups for:
— Urban Dinner Churches
— Rural Dinner Churches
— Sacramental/Liturgical Dinner Churches
— Hispanic Dinner Churches
Church Planters
— Network/Denominational Leaders
— Healing and Spiritual Formation
— Blended Ecology Settings
and more!
Hear from seasoned practitioners on relevant Dinner Church leadership topics:
— Dinner Church 101
— Milestones for Multiplication
— Tableside Discipleship
— Telling Compelling Jesus Stories
— Trowel and Sword and the Role of Prayer in Your Dinner Church Mission
