purpose

Here at The Friendship Table, we are committed to providing an exceptional opportunity for spiritual seekers and activists. Participants will be immersed in an environment that promotes growth in one's spiritual life while engaging with food scarcity issues that directly affect our local community. At St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, we are devoted to empowering this select group of young adults to cultivate conversations and solutions to best combat food insecurities in High Point, fueled by intentionally living out a Rule of Life. The Friendship Table intends to create a learning environment that will drive our community into the future of sustainable practices from our current food crises.

We will have a substantial focus on spiritual formation and vocational discernment throughout the year as we explore the intersection of Christian faith and service. This opportunity will provide particular access to innovative leaders in High Point. Each member will be equipped with opportunities to enhance their vocational interests throughout this program. Participants will directly contribute to the initiative, bringing their own experiences, ideas, and insights to the Table.

This commitment includes room, board and stipend.
