What is Trail and Table?

Trail and Table is a welcoming, all-ages community where we gather to explore life, meaning, and connection—through creativity, storytelling, shared meals, and time outdoors.

We are an inclusive, all ages community who aim to love Jesus, our neighbours, and the natural world.

We meet twice a month in two different ways, each offering a unique experience but sharing the same heart: making space for wonder, belonging, and honest exploration.

The Table (Indoor Gatherings)
Once a month, we gather indoors for a relaxed, interactive experience. You can expect a mix of hands-on activities, creative projects, opportunities for prayer and reflection, asking big questions, storytelling, and time to eat together. It’s informal, flexible, and designed for all ages to participate side by side—whether you love games, crafts, conversation, or just being present.

There’s no pressure to know anything in advance or to fit a certain mold. You can come as you are, try things out, or simply observe. It’s a space to connect—with others, with meaningful stories, and with something deeper.

The Trail (Outdoor Gatherings)
Once a month, we meet outside for a slower, more contemplative experience in nature.

This is a nature-based, contemplative experience that includes fun activities like scavenger hunts, labyrinths, and making nature art.

These gatherings include simple guided moments alongside plenty of space to wander, notice, and explore at your own pace. Whether you’re walking quietly, creating something with natural materials, or participating in a group activity, the focus is on paying attention—to the world around us and what’s happening within us

Who It’s For
Trail and Table is for everyone—families, kids, teens, adults, and anyone curious about trying something different. You don’t need to have any background with church or faith. This is a space for asking questions, building relationships, and experiencing community in a fresh, accessible way.

Come As You Are
Whether you’re drawn to creativity, community, nature, or simply looking for a place to belong, you’re invited to join us on the trail and around the table.

Reviews

A close-up of a messy interactive prayer station: a shallow wooden tray filled with fine sand, with simple wooden crosses and smooth river stones partially buried, some stones hand-painted with single words like “hope,” “love,” and “peace” in playful, uneven lettering. Around the tray lie open jars of colored sand, a small glass candle holder with an unlit tea light, and a handwritten instruction card in childlike print, edges slightly curled. Soft, diffused afternoon light from the side creates gentle highlights on the sand’s texture and subtle shadows from the crosses and stones. Photographic realism with shallow depth of field, focusing sharply on the foreground stone while the rest fades into a soft, contemplative blur. The mood is reflective yet accessible and creative.

“My younger daughter and I enjoy the many craft tables available for her to be creative and to learn about God.”

A close-up of messy, joyful art supplies mid-creation: a sheet of thick paper with a half-finished, abstract rainbow cross painted in bold, slightly smudged strokes of tempera paint, surrounded by open paint pots, chunky brushes thick with color, and a paint-splattered plastic tablecloth. Droplets of paint dot the surface, adding to the sense of creative chaos. Overhead diffused hall lighting reflects off the wet paint, creating subtle gleam and depth in the colors. Photographic realism with a top-down perspective, capturing every brushstroke and texture. The atmosphere is fun, free, and expressive, embodying the “messy” aspect of Messy Church while still feeling warm and positive, ideal for illustrating creative faith exploration.

“Messy Church is an experience that a variety of different age groups can enjoy. I like when we include interactive games in the worship.”
