Shields to Tables was birthed out of our desire to build a community of men and women desiring to be equipped, encouraged, fed, and prepared to fulfill the individual calling on their lives. While not everyone is called to the same battles, we are all called to represent Jesus, in boldness, courage, and most importantly, love. We believe ministry is practical, faith is simple, and the love of God is unconditional.
Faith is an essential part of the Armor of God. The Shield of faith is said to "quench every fiery dart of the wicked one". We believe it is imperative to link arms and walk in faith to stand strong against any opposition that we encounter. While we may not always agree with everything the one walking next to us does, it doesn't matter when you come face to face with your enemy. The shield is a symbol not only of protection but also unity.
Food and fellowship. We believe that fellowship and community are essential for living a successful life. Jesus spent much of His ministry doing these two things. He made it a point to connect with, love, and encourage others. Community builds our hope, shares our experiences, and confirms that we are in fact, not in this alone.
