Dinner Churches are locally based to encourage deep relationships with people who actually live in your community—to create more natural interactions and a shared mission for God’s love in your neighborhood.  Here’s what we mean—when you’re driving 30 minutes to church, you probably won’t see those people again all week long.  But if your Dinner Church is just up the street, you begin running into one another at the grocery store, at the gym, at the park, etc.  It’s easier to schedule one-off coffees with people in your Dinner Church.  It’s easier to get together at the local park and let the kids play.  It’s easier to rally around the needs of a neighborhood you both call home.
