🥘 The Big Table

There’s a loneliness problem.
And we think one of the most radical things you can do in 2025 is... eat with people.

At Ocean Church, one of our core habits is simple: invite people into your household—regularly, intentionally, around food. So this October, we’re launching The Big Table: a shared adventure in connection and community.

We’ve got over 80 people in our WhatsApp community—but let’s be honest, most of us don’t really know each other yet. This is your chance to change that.

Here’s how it works:

• Sign up as an individual or a household

• You’ll be grouped with two other households or individuals

  This is your table. You’ll be given a private WhatsApp group for your table so you can start chatting, planning, and getting to know each other.

• Over the four weeks of October, you’ll rotate around each other’s homes (or chosen location), sharing a meal each time

• The focus each week is on the host—what they love, their story, their way of life

• As guests, your job is to draw that story out

• After each meal, reflect together (or solo) through a blog post, short video, or voice note—whatever feels natural

• By the end, you’ll have shared three meals, told three stories, and taken one small step toward a less lonely world

This isn’t about fancy food or perfect hosting—it’s about real conversation, open tables, and the sacred, ordinary gift of being known.
