Welcome to the Table
You belong here.
We are The Table.
The Table is a member of the Gather Network, a group of interdenominational young adult communities dedicated to engaging deeply with our faith. Whether you have a church home that you love or haven’t been in a while (or ever!), you are welcome here.
The Table (and Gather) exist to fill a gap in programming for young adults in our church communities. There are many congregations throughout the Salt Lake valley with smaller young adult communities. We love our churches, but there often aren’t enough of us for dedicated young adult formation in each congregation. The Table offers an opportunity for young adults to come together across denominational lines to fellowship and learn about our faith together.
We gather twice monthly at locations across the valley for fellowship, fun, and faith discussions. Anyone 18-35 (or somewhere close to that) is welcome to join in!

Upcoming Discussions:
In the coming months, we’ll be discussing a variety of topics, from spiritual gifts to the season of Advent! We hope you’ll join us as often as you are able.
The Table - Spiritual Gifts Inventory, November 5: What are your spiritual gifts? St. Paul says that, “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.” -1 Corinthians 12:4-11. What might your unique contributions to the Body of Christ be? In this one-off session, we’ll explore our spiritual gifts in the hope that we will be better equipped to serve God and our neighbors. This session will be held at First Presbyterian Church, 12 C St E, Salt Lake City. Parking is available on nearby streets.
The Table - Hymn Sing, November 17: Music is an important part of worship in most (if not all!) of our churches. From the timeless rhythms of Gregorian Chant to CCM hits, worship music has been helping Christian people draw near to God since times long forgotten. To honor music's contribution to the life of the church, we're going to discuss what church music means to us on November 19, and then actually do some singing together! Submit your favorite hymn and the resource (e.g. Episcopal Hymnal 1982, Evangelical Lutheran Worship, The Presbyterian Hymnal, etc.) to this form and we'll get it on the list! This session will take place at First United Methodist Church, located at 203 S 200 E, Salt Lake City. Parking is available to the rear of the church and on nearby streets.
The Table - Advent Wreath Making, December 3: Advent is a time of watchful waiting for the coming of Our Lord, both in our hearts and at the last day. Advent wreaths are a fun way to observe the season with light and greenery, so we’re going to join the St. Mark’s community in making them! The cost of the supplies is $20 per person, and we ask that you RSVP to thetableslc@gmail.com by November 26, so that we can buy the correct number of materials. If $20 presents any financial difficulty, please reach out to Sofia at (208) 999-0443. This session will take place at St. Mark’s Cathedral, 231 E. 100 S, Salt Lake City. Parking is located to the rear of the church.
The Table - Living as Advent People, December 17: What does it mean to live as Advent people, people who are always waiting for the return of Christ in our lives and hearts? When can we encounter Jesus in the places we least expect? In this session, we’ll discuss how Advent reveals the light of Christ as it ever dawns anew within our hearts. As always, this meeting will end with night prayers. This session will take place at Wasatch Presbyterian Church, 1626 S 1700 E, Salt Lake City. Parking is available around the church.
