About this event

Welcome to gastrochurch. We do intentional conversations about spiritual things over really good food. We set a table and invite people from any background, culture, worldview, and identity. It's kind of a mashup between a dinner party and a small group, only with people you might otherwise never meet.

Here's how it works: when you show up, you'll sit at a table of six with people you may or may not know. Over the course of the evening, we'll give you three questions, meant to get you talking about something more substantive than the weather. You spend about 90 minutes eating, drinking, talking, laughing, connecting, and potentially meeting your new best friend. And then you go home and tell everyone how awesome it was and how you can't wait to come to the next gathering. This month's gathering will feature a special guest chef as well as guest facilitators from The Center for Christian Spirituality.

How many times do you eat alone? How many times do you eat in front of a TV? When’s the last time you had a good, intentional conversation over some really good food?

In this month’s conversation, we’ll be escaping the heat by sharing a curated meal of water-rich foods from local growers. We all know how much our bodies need water (especially now!), but do we know how much our spirits need people? Join us for a conversation about isolation, community, and spiritual needs.

So buy your tickets and your preferred beverage, invite a friend, and we'll see you soon!

PSA: We never want the cost of dinner to be a barrier, if you or a friend need help covering the cost of tickets, please reach out to Haley at 281-797-6754 or at haley@gastrochurch.org.
