Dinner Church: A Fresh Expression at First UMC in Fargo

Fargo First UMC started Dinner Church in January. Everyone and anyone in the community is invited. Café First cooks and serves dinner for anyone, beginning at 5 p.m. After dinner, there is time for a Jesus story and conversation.

“We have about 30 people attending on average. Two-thirds have a connection to the church, and one-third do not have a connection to us,” Pastor Ryan said. “We are reaching new people and sharing Jesus' stories with them. We feed basic life within us—body and soul.”

Dinner church is part of the Fresh Expressions movement across the Dakotas-Minnesota Area. A team of six people from First UMC in Fargo is participating in the Fresh Expressions training with Michael Beck.
