WELCOME to the TABLE
A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER
Dear Friends,
This summer marks 19 years since that first potluck in Cascade Gateway Park with 20 neighbors who became friends. Since then, what began as relationships with 20 unhoused individuals has grown into outreach, shelter, and stabilization for more than 2,000 people last year alone.
At Church at the Park, we believe every person's story is sacred—marked by blessing, brokenness, strength, and hope. Our team helps people embrace their stories as powerful and worthy. More than half of our staff have experienced homelessness themselves, and many former guests have found stability and even joined our team.
We are committed to showing up wherever partnerships can help support struggling neighbors. Over the past year, we've shared our mission through print, presentations, storytelling events, and documentaries.
Our community partners inspired us to host another storytelling banquet—bringing more people to the table to join our mission of creating spaces of love, acceptance, and belonging. Welcome to the Table is our invitation to be part of this movement. Would you consider helping us set the table through sponsorship, a financial gift, or simply by showing up? We'd love to see you there!
With gratitude,
DJ Vincent
Founding Pastor & CEO
