Tables Not Stages
Stephen and I met for our usual, weekly coffee on the Upper West Side and began speaking about what might lie ahead for Trinity Heights Church. We talked about the importance of church community in an age of rampant isolation and loneliness. We spoke about people’s maxed out schedules and we discussed the specific way Jesus’ ministry placed the greatest emphasis on a handful of meaningful relationships.
This conversation continued over several months and came to a decisive moment when Stephen brought up a quote from John Mark Comer, “The future of the church is smaller, not bigger, it’s around tables, not stages.”
And, with those words we both paused for a moment before saying, “Let’s do that.”
So, long story short, that’s exactly what we’ve decided to do.
