The Open Table KC

Since 2015, The Open Table has curated formative conversations on spirituality and justice around hundreds of community meals which were free and open to all. We have also offered antiracism trainings to thousands of people at various organizations across the state, resulting in process and policy shifts within colleges, coffee shops, and nonprofits. We are excited about our new partnership with Freedom Church of the Poor and what that will bring for 2024! This Giving Tuesday, partner with us as we continue working to be a community of peace and reconciliation in a city divided. Join us in the work of liberation until all are at the table together.

We are thankful for the ways you have contributed to making The Open Table the kind of antiracist, LGBTQ affirming, beloved church community it is today.

Happy Coming Out Day!

I want to live in a world where folks don’t have to “come out” because all people are celebrated for who they are and all of the diversity that is part of the human experience.

Whether you have been out for years or decades,

or are in the process of coming out,

or you have not found a way yet to come out to yourself, to your closest people, your family, your world,

you are loved.

Our Story

The Open Table is a socially progressive church in KCMO that seeks to be a community of peace and reconciliation in a city divided. We are a community of hospitality and conversation; a place of rest and beauty. Everyone who has imperfections or struggles with deep questions is welcome. Our gatherings are simple and our theology is earthy. We gather for shared meals, songs, and short topical discussions about the intersections of spirituality and life.

Our inspiration comes from a first-century Jew named Jesus Christ who birthed a new society in the shell of the old, a society full of outcasts whose faith and actions were wholly integrated. We curate spaces and experiences meant to challenge and inspire, so we can rediscover ourselves and experiment with ways to care for the world around us.

Our gatherings are community sourced so many perspectives can be included, and our hospitality grows out of conversation with those around the dinner table, regularly taking us into the community. Join us every second and fourth Sunday from 6:00 - 7:30pm for food, music, and conversation. Childcare is available for birth through 5 years.
