WHY THIS MATTERS
Rediscover the importance of mealtimes with your families and neighbors using this shared value as an opportunity to present the Gospel.
DISCOVER THE IMPACT
Meals are universally seen as high-value occasions, and scientific research demonstrates their importance.
Meals are an important and meaningful first step toward intentional family discipleship.
Meals are easy ways to help our people create new connections in the community.
Jesus consistently modeled the value of building bridges through mealtimes.
“The way we spend mealtimes has influenced our present, and changes to our future mealtimes are positively affecting the people we love as well as our broader community.”
-Ryan Rush, PhD, Senior Pastor at Kingsland Baptist Church
