MemberPartners are more than names on a mailing list. We are a community of people who care about the Catch, about one another, and about the work we are doing together.
The Round Table is a private discussion space created especially for MemberPartners. It is a place to talk, pray, learn, celebrate, ask questions, share ideas, and stay connected with what is happening throughout the Catch Ministry.
Some conversations will be practical. Others will be personal. Some will help us study Scripture together, while others will give MemberPartners an opportunity to contribute ideas and perspectives as we plan for the future.
Around the Table
General Discussion
Conversation about whatever is on your mind and does not fit neatly into another discussion area.
Prayer and Praise
Share prayer needs, updates, answered prayers, praise reports, and encouragement.
MemberPartner Announcements
News about MemberPartner events, gatherings, studies, publications, opportunities, and other community announcements.
The Community Room
Share the everyday events of life—births, deaths, anniversaries, trips, family news, accomplishments, promotions, and the things we would talk about if we were sitting together over coffee.
Bible Study Discussions
Ongoing conversations connected with particular Bible studies and study groups.
Flex Bible Studies
Weekly lessons and discussion questions for studies you can participate in on your own schedule while still learning with the community.
Looking Ahead
A place for MemberPartners to offer ideas, suggestions, questions, and feedback about the future direction of the Catch Ministry.
Ministry and Financial Updates
Reports, financial information, and other updates that help MemberPartners understand what is happening throughout the ministry.
A Place to Belong
The Round Table is meant to feel like the community room of Johnny’s Cafe: pull up a chair, pour another cup of coffee, and join the conversation.
You do not have to participate in every discussion. You can read quietly, join conversations that interest you, or start one of your own.
What matters is that there is a place at the table for you.
Rules of the Road
The Round Table is a MemberPartner community. We do not expect everyone to agree, but we do expect everyone to treat one another with respect.
- Play nice. Disagree with ideas without attacking people.
- Treat everyone with dignity. Personal insults, harassment, and slurs based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other personal characteristics will not be tolerated.
- Leave partisan politics at the door. There are plenty of places online for political debate. The Round Table is not intended to be one of them.
- No advertising or solicitation. Do not use the forum primarily to sell products, services, causes, or yourself.
- Stay reasonably on topic. Conversations wander, but respect the purpose of each discussion area.
- Respect privacy. Do not repost another member’s personal information, private comments, MemberPartner discussions, or ministry/financial updates elsewhere without permission.
- Moderators may moderate. Moderators may edit or remove posts, move topics, close discussions, or remove access when necessary to protect the community.
The purpose of moderation is not to prevent disagreement. It is to keep disagreement from destroying the conversation.
