What is the Kitchen Table Ministry? The kitchen table has always been a cornerstone of family life, a place where meals are shared and memories are made. It’s where holiday treats are sprinkled with laughter and love. In today’s world, where challenges like illness, social unrest, and personal struggles affect us all, the need for such a gathering place is greater than ever.
Recognizing this, we have rebranded our “Mental Health and Wellness Ministry” to the “Kitchen Table Ministry.” This new name reflects our commitment to creating a space where stories are shared, support is given, and understanding is nurtured. Join us as we launch new initiatives to bring our community together, one conversation at a time.
