How it all started...
For many years, a number of families met across Hamilton, united by a shared desire for a more powerful presence of God in our lives and communities. Our journey was one of exploration and discovery, as we delved into Missional Communities and sought innovative ways of doing church. We embraced the intimacy of meeting in our homes and the casual fellowship of local cafes, building bonds that went beyond Sunday services.
In 2019, our collective yearning and experiences culminated in the birth of Banquet Church. Our name reflects our core belief in the gospel's foundational principles of hospitality. At Banquet Church, we believe in breaking down barriers, opening our doors wide, and inviting everyone to the table. Our faith is a celebration of community, where everyone is welcome, and no one is left behind.
