Welcome to The Good Table
We are a network of Canadian Churches pursuing the way of Jesus, seeking relational connections, and sharing resources as we live out an inclusive, power-sharing, common-good seeking, expression of faith for all.
A community of fellow travellers
Following Jesus and fostering communities of faith shouldn’t be such a lonely road. We are co-creating a community of friends and found family to support one another as we follow in the way of Jesus.
Practical Support Built Together
We’re reimagining and co-creating a circle of support to help local churches and leaders flourish. We share power, we’re peer-led, and we’re creating a container to offer churches what they’ve said they need most
Pull up a chair to this good table
There’s room at this table for you! We’ve made the road by walking together, and you and your your faith community are welcome on this journey! This community moves at the speed of trust and relationship. Let’s start by getting to know each other!
A safe place to heal and belong
We’re a community of churches, pastors, ministry leaders, artists and theologians desiring to live into the values of the Good Table. The Church in Canada and its institutional structures have been both a blessing and unfortunately, also a place of great wounding. For many Jesus followers, especially those who are female, BIPOC, sexual minorities, neurodivergent or people with disabilities, the church has often been a place of hurt. We believe that by working towards a trauma-informed approach to Christian ministry, we will be better able to help the Church in Canada become a community of safety, healing and belonging for everyone. We believe that we can flourish together!
Generous and redemptive theology
We believe in a good God who has blessed Canada with a broad history of Christian traditions. We believe these traditions each hold unique riches that are better together than separate. Through a lens of appreciative inquiry, this gathering community has found gifts in the traditions gathered around this table. To foster spiritual life that is redemptive, equitable, generous, inclusive, diverse, and sustainable, we are committed to theology that affirms the radical, self-sacrificial love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, and as witnessed to by the Holy Spirit present in every human being.
Christ is the good table, and everyone belongs at the feast.
