Dinner groups are at the core of what we do to build community! Our Story Team sat down with Karl to learn more about his experience with a men’s dinner group.

It’s a fitting topic as we continue to focus on what leads to successful relationships during our Sunday conversations this February.

Check it out!

Story Team: What do you love about being a part of the dinner group?

Karl: I love that it’s a supportive group of men who consistently show up for each other. From my first time attending, I felt that no one was there out of mere obligation. It’s a group that is relatable, funny, and whose collective heart is to see every brother succeed and live well in the power of Jesus.

Story Team: What is the story about how you joined a dinner group?

Karl: Pastor Anthony told me about dinner groups and gave me the name of a dinner group leader to reach out to. I figured I would eventually join a group, but had no immediate plans. Then I went to Amplify, and met my now good friend, Eric. That conversation inspired me to join a dinner group right away.

Almost immediately I knew I had joined a great group and I never felt like a stranger.

Story Team: Was there any self doubts that you had to overcome?

I didn’t have to overcome any doubts except a personal inclination I have towards solitude. But I can easily say that the community and camaraderie the dinner group adds to my life is invaluable!

Story Team: Tell us about the relationships you’ve formed along the way?

The entire group is low-key now a part of my circle. A special shout out to my dinner group leader CJ (the best Hoboken Grace has!). He fosters an environment where relationships feel easy and natural.

Story Team: What excites you about the future of the dinner group/where your dinner group is headed?

I think I’m most excited about what is it in the moment. It already holds a special place in my heart and has been core to my spiritual development the last few months.
