About the

Open Table Collective

The Open Table Collective is an ever inclusive and affirming collective of individuals on a spiritual journey. We seek to cultivate courageously receptive spaces for wrestling with nuances of faith so we can walk alongside one another without fear or judgment.

We have a seat at the table

just for you

The Open Table Collective is located in Metro Detroit, and hosts gatherings on the first and third Saturday of the month.

Our main location is Evanswood Church in Troy, MI, but we do, on occasion, decide to meet in alternative spaces, so please stay connected to us through the website, texting community, or email to get all the updates. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
