Open Table United Methodist Church

About this church

Open Table United Methodist Church is a Raleigh congregation combining ancient liturgical rhythms, traditional hymns, contemporary music, relevant preaching, and weekly open Communion. As a Reconciling and Lighthouse community, it explicitly welcomes LGBTQIA+ people and people displaced by church closings or disaffiliation. Its stated hope is to stand with marginalized neighbors and pursue justice and reconciliation while acknowledging that the congregation is still learning.

Sunday School for children ages three through ten begins at 9:00 a.m. Indoor worship follows at 10:00, lasts about an hour, and streams on Facebook and YouTube. Nursery care serves babies through age three, and Kids Church meets during the 10:00 worship hour. Communion is offered every week and the table is open to everyone. Open Table’s children’s curriculum follows the lectionary, connecting age-based learning with the same biblical seasons used in congregational worship. Visitors can expect a United Methodist service that deliberately brings older and newer forms together, and families should arrive before 9:00 if using Sunday School or before 10:00 for nursery and Kids Church check-in.
