Your first step to starting your table

Before you begin

These five videos are your foundation as a Tables leader. Watch them in order, keep the Leader Guide open alongside you, and take your time. This isn't content to consume: it's a culture to carry.


Training Videos
01

Introduction to Tables

Start here. This video unpacks why Tables exist, the theology behind the model, and what we're building together at Temple.

02

Hospitality

The meal is ministry. Learn how the Hospitality role sets the emotional tone for the whole evening before a word is spoken.

03

Host

You open your home and your life. This video covers what it means to be the Host: creating a space where people feel genuinely welcome.

04

Facilitator

Your job isn't to teach; it's to create space for God's word to land in real life. Learn how to lead a Bible discussion that draws people in.

05

Follow Up

Follow-up is spiritual warfare against drifting. This video covers how to stay connected with your group and make sure nobody gets lost.

Resource

Leader Guide
