HI THERE!
What is The Welcome Table Project?
The Welcome Table Project is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the development of resources for small group settings in ministries, families, and communities. Through collaborative offerings such as retreats, workshops, conferences, and podcasts, we develop tools that encourage meaningful conversation, deep listening, and shared learning.
Rooted in the belief that stories shape lives and communities, we gather people around tables—both literal and figurative—to foster belonging, healing, and lasting change. At the heart of our work is a commitment to reflect the diverse and expansive love of God, and create spaces where people can be met with grace and shared wisdom.
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!
Welcome!
Stories have a way of changing lives! They shape how we see ourselves, how we understand one another, how we imagine the future. When stories are honored and shared—especially stories that have too often been silenced or overlooked—they have the power to open us. To soften us. To move us toward justice, compassion, and belonging.
When we sit together with curiosity and care, when we listen across differences, when stories are met with reverence rather than resistance, something holy happens. Walls shift. Assumptions loosen. New possibilities take root.
We invite you to pull up a chair and join the conversation at The Welcome Table Project.
SISTERS
This is who we are!
Same sisters, same mission, slightly different approach! The Welcome Table Project is led by the Bunce sisters, known to many as “The Bunce Girls,” and founders of The Welcome Table®. They are originally from Lexington, North Carolina. Raised in a family shaped by the values of faith, justice, education, and the arts, their upbringing emphasized the power of voice—through music, dialogue, and meaningful conversation. Many of their most formative experiences took place around the table, where meals gave way to shared stories, laughter, and spiritual reflection. These gatherings instilled in them a deep belief in the sacredness of community and the transformative potential of honest conversation. The Welcome Table Project seeks to carry that legacy forward by helping to create spaces and resources that support small groups in ministries, communities, and families—spaces where every voice is heard, every person is valued, and faith is lived out in relationship.
