A MONTHLY MIDDLE TENNESSEE GATHERING
Meet me. Cook with me. Eat with me.
Once a month, people seeking food and community will gather around one table. I’ll teach the main dish. Every household will take responsibility for a side. We’ll prepare the meal, learn together, and sit down to eat as neighbors.

PUTTING DOWN ROOTS
Our way of becoming part of the place we call home.
The Family Table is my way of connecting directly with the local community and expanding our family’s roots in Middle Tennessee.
I want us to be known here - not simply through a website, but through shared work, honest conversation, and meals with people who become familiar faces. My family will be there to welcome you, meet your family, and be part of the gathering. I’ll take care of the logistics, instruction, and execution so everyone can participate.
This is community-centered under the Conversions By Jesus brand. You don’t need to arrive with a particular background or belief. You only need an interest in food, people, and contributing to the table.
WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH
More than a meal.
The goal is for every guest - adults and children alike - to leave with something useful and something human.
More confident
Learn practical Mexican cooking skills through direct instruction, real-time feedback, and hands-on preparation.
More rooted
Experience Middle Tennessee through rotating gatherings, local spaces, and relationships built over time.
Personally encouraged
Leave fed, welcomed, and reminded that community can begin with one contribution to one shared table.
HOW THE SHARED MEAL WORKS
Everyone contributes. No one figures it out alone.
Before the gathering, each household receives an assigned side so the meal works as one complete table.
Receive your dish
You’ll receive an assigned side, ingredient guidance, and everything needed to understand your contribution.
Get direct support
If advance preparation is required, I’ll support you by email, text, phone, Google Meet, or video so you arrive confident.
Cook and gather
We’ll finish the dishes together, prepare the featured Mexican main dish, and then sit down to share what we made.
THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU HERE
Good food. Time together. Room to belong.
Come as you are.
You don’t need to know everyone to have a place at the table.
Settle in and share a meal.
Food is prepared with care, with room to slow down and enjoy the people around you.
Let conversation become connection.
A shared plate and an unhurried evening can be the beginning of a new friendship.
