Welcome to the National Gathering
Dear friend, we’re so glad you’re here. This fall, the Common Table is hosting its first in-person National Gathering. Our team has been collaborating with various sector leaders throughout the U.S. to create an opportunity to bring together researchers, practitioners, and all who care about congregational and clergy well-being together.
Space is limited to 150 participants.
Our Approach
At the Common Table, we aim to create innovative solutions to current issues affecting our field. Our conference will not be your typical conference with keynote speakers. Rather, we want to hear from you, learn from you, and move the field forward together.
Learn how we aim to achieve this with a design thinking process.

FAQs

The Common Table National Gathering will bring together individuals who are called to care for clergy and congregational well-being. Our gathering is not your typical conference. Instead of just sitting listening to lectures, our gathering focuses on the conversations happening among experts and friends at the table. We hope to create an experience that energizes you for ministry, creates partnerships and friendships, and ultimately advance God’s kingdom through healthier congregations and clergy.
