A New Kind of Table

We set a plate for you. No membership required, no name tag necessary.

Mayport is a dynamic community — a continual tide of new neighbors, new businesses entering the landscape, also facing rising prices, food insecurity, under-resourced schools, and families stretched thin by deployment. Mayport Open Table is a new worshiping community built around a free community dinner, an easy worship service, and honest conversation about the things neighbors carry.

New

Extending the boundless good news of Jesus Christ to meet real, everyday needs.

Worshiping

A community dinner-party, with prayer, readings, and music lightly woven throughout. Easy to enter, easy to belong.

Community

After dinner, everyone will be encouraged to stick around for a curated conversation on our neighborhood, schools, and family life. Kids will get activities and homework help — building a table of belonging and growth, with families supporting one another.

Extending the Table

Each Thursday, we will pack and deliver carefully packaged, shelf stable food to Mayport schools for kids in need to take home for the weekend.
