FAQs

Q: Who is the Table for?

A: While many of our students are enrolled at Missouri State, OTC, Drury, or Evangel, we also have quite a few people that began working right out of high school or are taking gap years.

Q: Do I have to be a Christian to come?

A: No, everyone has a seat at The Table. While we are explicitly a Christian group dedicated to following Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we would love for anyone exploring faith to come and see what we’re all about.

Q: Is there free food or transportation?

A: Many of our events have free snacks or drinks! While we don’t have a shuttle for on-campus students, we do have weekly community groups on campus at Missouri State. Plus, you can always ask someone for a ride to the church!
