FAQS
Table 12 is a Christ-centered hospitality nonprofit reviving the table as a central place for life, faith, and community!
Inspired by Jesus’ ministry, where so much of His teaching and discipleship happened around the table, we exist to bring that model back into today’s world as part of God’s original design for connection, belonging, and transformation.
Think of it as your favorite dinner party! Except the guest list includes literally everyone, and the host is alllll about their faith!
The mission of Table 12 is to equip Christians to live so hospitably (like Jesus!) that the world can’t help but pull up a chair.
We do this by modeling the table as a place where those still searching are received with open arms, and those who know Jesus are strengthened and sent out to do the same around their own tables.
Two things. First, the TABLE: Jesus did the majority of His recorded ministry around a table. Like, 43% of it. He was breaking bread with tax collectors, feeding thousands, and establishing communion over a meal. If the table was one of His greatest tools, it should be one of ours. Second, the 12: In Scripture, twelve represents God's intentional order and design. Twelve tribes, twelve disciples, twelve foundations of the New Jerusalem. Put it together and you get Table 12: restoring God's design for connection and community through the way of Jesus!
Nope, not a church! And honestly, that’s intentional. We have huge respect for the local church and we genuinely believe it’s where discipleship and community happen best. We’re just here to help people live out their faith around the table and cheer them on toward getting connected to a local church. Think of us as the hype team, not the replacement.
Not yet, but we’re actively in the process! We are in the middle of the approval process. The moment that approval comes through, we’ll be celebrating loudly, and donations will become fully tax-deductible at that point!
Totally! And this is kind of the whole point. The table is always open. Always. We take our cue directly from Jesus, who sat with sinners, seekers, skeptics, and saints alike. You don't have to have it all figured out to pull up a chair. Whether you love Jesus like crazy or you're kinda sketched out about the whole faith thing, there's a seat with your name on it.

We are very much in the building phase. Think foundation laying, legal groundwork, content filming, website building, and forming the right partnerships before we ever go public. We’ve got a detailed roadmap and we’re working through it step by step, not winging anything.
More tables, more people, and a growing movement of Christ-centered hospitality around the world!
In the years ahead, we hope to partner with churches globally, expanding our social media reach, equipping millions of people with curriculum to use the table as an extension of their ministry, multiplying connection, care, and discipleship through everyday life.
We want Christians to be known as the most welcoming people on earth, and for Table 12 to be something people recognize even beyond the church world because of the way it reflects love in action.
At the heart of it all, we’re just gathering more people around the table and pointing them to Jesus, until we meet Him face-to-face.
Every dollar goes directly toward building Table 12 from the ground up! Funding social media content, creating the curriculum, developing the website and app, covering legal and nonprofit filing fees, hosting our first several events, creating the engagement program, and building a small core team to carry it forward. Year one is all about laying a strong foundation so everything we build after it can stand and last!
