Table
Communities

Was Jesus the original foodie? When we look to His life, we find that much of His ministry would revolve around a shared table. A place to gather over a meal, to walk alongside each other, to thoughtfully build one another up. A place to grow in an abundance of grace. At Kingscross, Table Communities are one way in which we practice doing community how Jesus did community with those around him.

What to expect at a Table Community

At Kingscross, a Table Community is a group of 6-12 people who meet up each week to eat together, share together, and experience the life Jesus offers, together.

Aside from a place to enjoy great food and conversation, Table Communities are place where you will experience meaningful relationships, mutual discipleship and a multiplying of God's grace. These form the three pillars, or shared values, of each group.
Meaningful relationships
Jesus showed us how to love one another, teaching us to lay ourselves down for our brothers and sisters. We seek each other's best, valuing regular gathering and looking to each other's needs. (1 John 3:16-18)
Mutual Discipleship
Jesus calls us to disciple and be discipled by each other, building each other up in maturity in Christ. We're thoughtfully involved in each other's growth, and we look to those around us for wisdom and encouragement. (Colossians 1:28-29)
Multiplying Grace
By his Spirit, God multiplies his grace through us as we welcome and serve one another. We count on God's abounding grace to bear fruit. (2 Corinthians 9:8)
Food set on a table being shared.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.

MATTHEW 25:35

Table Community FAQs

How many people are in each Table Community?

Table Communities typically consist of 6-12 people. Once the group consistently reaches over 12 people in regular attendance we start the process of multiplying the group into two smaller groups.

Why are Table Communities kept to smaller sizes?

Table Communities are kept to smaller sizes so we can grow deeper in relationship with one another and better care for each other’s physical and spiritual needs. Smaller groups increase participation and ownership of the group, vulnerability and intimacy.

What can I expect on a typical evening at a Table Community?

You can expect to meet some awesome people, fellowship over a meal, study the Bible together and pray for one another.

Do Table Communities run all year around?

Table Communities run during the school terms.

Who manages the table community in my area?

There are Table Community Co-ordinators who look after managing each group. Each Table Community (TC) runs slightly differently according to the meeting preferences and availability of the group. To assist with facilitation of conversation after a meal, a podcast and notes for discussion are provided weekly by Kingscross.
