TheTable is a young adult ministry at Christ Church West Monroe with a relaxed, coffee house feel that welcomes young adults ages 18-30 from any denomination. Feeling the young adult demographic was overlooked, young adult outreach pastor Jeremy Lowe and his wife Dana created TheTable, a group for bible-believing individuals.

TheTable began in Oct. 2010 with only 20 members; it now reaches over 150 young adults.

TheTable is held in a local community church and head pastor Tom Lowe caters to any and all young adults. TheTable hopes to provide a home church to students or otherwise help student find another church by means of their connections.

Many members of TheTable already have a church home, but they still attend every Thursday at 7 p.m.

Juri Thompson, sophomore biology major from Monroe, said TheTable is an open and inviting place. “The people there instantly invite you in and make you part of the group,” Thompson says.

Leaders and members of TheTable recently visited ULM with their Pop-Tart Outreach in hopes to meet and mingle with students. On Wednesday, they packed over 250 Pop-Tarts for their second trip on campus, distributing the toaster pastries in Scott Plaza.

The Table’s latest event, The Burn, will be held Friday, Sept. 23. Lowe described it as “12-hour non-stop worship from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.” Various worship leaders from around the community will be at Christ Church West Monroe to lead the worship service.

Normal services are held Thursday nights at 7 p.m. at Christ Church West Monroe.
