OPEN TABLES
At All Saints Church, we intentionally slow down our programming over the summers, and that includes taking a break from Discipleship Communities. However, we know June through August is a long time to go without the regular community gatherings. That's why we're introducing Open Tables this summer!
The vision is simple rhythms of community over the summer through creative hangs around open tables. This is an opportunity to deepen relationships, cross-pollinate beyond your discipleship communities, and invite others into your passions and interests. Check out the offerings below, and be sure to sign up early!
Hearing God’s Voice
June 10, June 17, and June 24
7pm - 8:30pm @ Bishop House

Join us for a 3-week Open Table on Hearing God’s Voice. In John 10, Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” God is not distant; He desires to speak to His people, and we can learn to recognize His voice.
In this short training, Karin Esselstrom and Meghan Bishop will guide us through foundational practices for discerning God’s voice in everyday life. Together, we’ll explore how to attune our spiritual ears and grow in confidence in listening to the Holy Spirit. We’ll look at the different ways God speaks—through Scripture, in prayer, and as we listen for His voice on behalf of others.
Whether you feel experienced in hearing God or are just beginning to explore it, this Open Table is a space to listen, practice, and grow together. Registration required.

BYO Dinner and come hang in or by the pool. Come ready to relax, splash, and share what God is doing in your life.
Our backyard is not what one might call toddler-focused (trampoline without a net, etc). Swim/play at your own risk and make sure someone has eyes on your kids at all times.
Parking and access: Everything in front of the house is available for parking. Enter backyard through the gate to the left of the garage door and be careful to not let our dog out. :)

Fight Night: 12 Rounds of Recovery & Transformation
6 weeks, TBD from consensus
TBD @ TBD (Men only)
Contact: Christian Martinez | Sign Up

We don't like to talk about it. We carry it into Sunday morning, sit in the third row, shake hands, and go home to fight the same war we've been losing for years. Pornography. Alcohol. Control. Anger. Approval. Whatever the substance, the mechanics are the same — we reach for something that promises relief and delivers chains. Temporary relief at best.
For some of us, the church has responded with silence, shame, or a simple "just stop it." None of it works — because sheer willpower was never the answer.
Fight Night seeks to fill that gap. Jesus promises that he is the living water — and in him, we will thirst no more. His answer for all of this mess is the gift of his Spirit and each other. This group will explore the 12 steps of recovery through the lens of Scripture: a framework that moves us from surrender to God, through honest self-examination, and into community — building regular rhythms of confession and transformation.
This isn't solely a group for men who have hit rock bottom. It's for every man who suspects he hasn't been fully honest with himself, with God, or with anyone else, and seeks to change that. Registration required.

We will be learning some conversational español!!! We’ll come together and learn some conversational phrases through art! coffee! food! AND DANCINGGGG!
It will all happen in a pretty informal setting and as immersive as possible! It's very low stakes and just an opportunity for all of us to get to know each other through dinners, activities, and one final dance lesson! :)
My house is located in Mira Mesa, since it'll be summer, we can possibly meet at a park or restaurant somewhere in the middle!
We will gather anywhere between 1-1.5 hours once a week starting in July! Please fill out the form so we can see which days work for everyone!
