Several years ago Open Table’s founding pastor, Rev. Ellen Guice Sims, began gathering together a core group of people eager to support each other in a life of faith and to work together to discern God’s direction. Since 2010 we have been a ministry of the United Church of Christ, a progressive denomination uniquely suited for a future-oriented church. This diverse and growing group shares a commitment to see where God is at work in the world and to join in that work. After the pandemic, we became a lay-led church. Our congregation recognizes that we are part of an emerging church movement that seeks to live our faith more authentically — a faith that in its 2000 years of existence has “swept out the attic” and reformed several times. We believe some of those reformations took us further away from the teachings of Jesus and the practices of the followers of The Way who lived in the time between the crucifixion of Jesus and the absorption of the church into the Roman Empire.
