TheTable is a unique postmodern movement of faith communities desiring to reach younger generations through integrated micro communities.
WHAT MAKES
TheTable UNIQUE?
Built around multiple micro-communities
Shifts discipleship back to the family
Significantly decreases the cost of paid staff
Significantly shifts the activity and expectation away from "receiving on Sunday" to a community of discipling throughout the week
Shifts worship to be much more experiential, relational, non-location specific, non-day specific and gathered at TheTable
Moves the faith community towards being more community-oriented, relationally focused, and laity-driven and led
Mobilizes the church in its thinking, doing, and prioritizing disciple-making
Moves the church away from being Sunday-centric, building-centric, and pastor-centric
Shifts the church away from preference-driven to missionally-driven
Significantly shifts the hours the congregants are invested in serving on Sunday to serving in a wider variety of ways that more effectively serve a greater number of people and the mission
THE CREATORS AND FOUNDERS OF TheTable ARE PRACTITIONERS LIVING INTO THIS APPROACH AS THEY ARE HELPING OTHER CHURCHES DREAM THE SAME.

Children's Table Pro Forma Builder Application
Running a childcare center is about more than just heart—it takes strategy, planning, and clarity around the numbers. Knowing the comprehensive cost of operating a childcare center, preschool, or parents' day out programs is critical for operational accuracy, planning, and decision-making. That’s why we created the ChildCare Pro Forma Builder—a simple, powerful tool that turns your facility and enrollment details into a clear, customized projected financial report.
Instant, Actionable Insights
No spreadsheets. No confusing formulas. Just real numbers, real fast—so you can plan, pitch, or pivot with confidence.
What It Does:
Using a guided step-by-step process to collect your center's key details--like enrollment fees and tuition, number of children enrolled per room, room sizes, and basic financial information - - our application does the rest. It generates a professional-grade pro forma report that includes:
Projected income based on your center's max enrollment
A detailed profit & loss statement broken down monthly, quarterly, and annually
Line-item calculations for staffing, facility, and operational expenses
A clear picture of your net income potential
Who It's For:
This tool is built specifically for:
Churches or nonprofits considering adding, expanding, or desiring a clear financial picture of early education ventures.
Churches considering adding, developing, or desiring a clear financial picture for a Parents' Day Out program
Childcare center owners and directors
Anyone who needs a data-driven feasibility plan for a childcare facility
Why It Matters
Most centers underestimate or overestimate their true potential and the financial impact. The ChildCare Pro Forma Builder
gives you credible, accurate projections that can be used for:
Strategic planning
Board or leadership presentations
Bank or grant applications
Scaling your operation
Informed Decision-Making
Forecasting and Budgeting
The Founders of TheTable captured the foundational pinning of why churches need to re-think their ministries and how they are trying to reach the younger generations in their book, Inside Out. This resource helps church leaders grasp the concepts of "everting" (turning inside out) our thinking and our ministries for the postmodern culture. The book is designed to be a small group resource by offering questions at the end of each chapter for processing information and generating critical leadership conversations. Readers will also find evaluation tools at the end of each chapter. Order your board or council copies today to get the conversation started.
Re-Thinking Childcares & Preschools as Christian Social Entrepreneurships with Integration Pathways Is your church struggling to reach and connect with the Millennials and Gen-Z families, missing the mark when it comes to effective spiritual formation of children, or is your existing childcare center or preschool missing the connection of its young families into the life of the church? If so, this webinar is for you. Please click the button below to purchase the pre-recorded webinar.
DID YOU KNOW THE U.S. IS EXPERIENCING A CHILDCARE CRISIS?
According to USA Today, the number of families unable to access childcare has grown to 23.1% from 17.8% in the fall 2023.
Poverty rates among early childhood professionals are 7.7 times higher than those among educators teaching grades K-8.
One in five families spends $36,000 or more on childcare in a single year which is $12,000 more than the cost of attending a public four-year university. Nearly half of parents spend $18,000 a year on childcare expenses.
In some areas, single parents spend as much as 75% of their income on infant care.
Roughly 2 in 3 children in the US have all available parents in the workforce and thus need childcare. Households with more than one income struggle, too.
Nearly 60% of parents not working or only working part time state the lack of quality, affordable childcare is keeping them from working full time.
The childcare crisis has cost the nation's economy $122 billion.
How is your church responding to this need in your community? Due to the childcare crisis, some innovative churches are rethinking their call to children's ministry.
Is your church providing full time care for children along with kindergarten readiness and summer programming? Are you fully leveraging your facility for this ministry?
Is your church intentionally and effectively integrating families from the child care center into a spiritual community?
Is your church taking a holistic family approach with the child care center?
Does the staff of the child care center see their role as a ministry? Is at least 20% of the tuition reinvested into ministry after all overhead expenses have been paid?
If you can't answer each of these questions with 100% certainty, consider a Childcare Analysis of your existing center or preschool.
