In today’s episode we talk with Lauren Boyd, Pastor of Be3 Dinner Church and the Director of Programming and Culture at the Newport Street Retreat in Denver, Colorado. In our conversation we discuss what dinner church is, what it has looked like at Be3, and how her church has repurposed their building for this new form of worship and for alternative funding models for ministry.

For More info about Be3 Dinner Church you can visit their facebook page here or their website here. You can also visit the Newport Street Retreat website here.

My favorite book about dinner church is We Will Feast by Kendall Vanderslice.

The email list that Lauren recommended is One Last Thing from Emily P. Freeman.
