The Key Message
Where faith, fellowship, and healthcare come together
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
More Than a Meal. A Ministry of Connection.
Dine with a Doc® is a free community outreach program dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors and veterans through education, fellowship, and a complimentary meal.
By bringing healthcare professionals and neighbors together around the table, we encourage informed decisions, meaningful friendships, and a stronger sense of community.
Our Spiritual Foundation
Our ministry draws inspiration from Revelation 3:20 and the invitation of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, to open the door, share a meal, and experience fellowship.
The Spiritual Knock
Each gathering is an opportunity to welcome and serve those who may need encouragement, companionship, or helpful resources.
Dine with the Physician
Healthcare professionals generously share their knowledge, reflecting a spirit of care for the whole person—body, mind, and soul.
Communities working together for the good of all.
