Building Futures with Dallas Metro: Table Host Central

Right here in our city, thousands of kids grow up in tough neighborhoods with limited access to safe spaces, support, and the hope of Jesus.

On Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, Dallas Metro is hosting BUILDING FUTURES WITH DALLAS METRO, a LIVE, multi-site dinner event across Texas to raise funds that will double our impact in Dallas. This special evening will feature inspiring fellowship, incredible food, and a powerful opportunity to invest in the future of our city’s kids.

The Lighthouse Church has generously provided us with land to build brand new facilities. It will be located just north of the existing Lighthouse Church, and will consist of a ministry center, warehouse, and secure parking for our entire fleet. We are committed to completing this project 100% debt free. By joining us on the journey, you will be showing future generations that our God can provide for anything! The children of Inner-City Dallas need a place to call home. Be a part of what God is doing for today and for future generations.

You can support this effort by joining us as a Table Host, where you would be responsible for inviting 3 couples (6 people).

Hi Friend,

Thousands of kids in our city grow up without safe spaces or steady support. Dallas Metro has been there for them for over 35 years, and now, they’re building a permanent ministry center to serve twice as many kids.

Join me for dinner at {Your Hosted Restaurant} on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, to hear the vision and be part of the story.

Hi {{FirstName}},

There are children in our inner cities who are hungry, hurting, and spiritually lost with no one to show up for them. At Dallas Metro, we exist to meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs through the grace and power of Jesus! And because of people like you, we're doing just that – and we believe the best is still to come!

This is not your typical dinner invitation.

Building Futures is our vision for a permanent, debt-free ministry campus that will take Dallas Metro from 130,000 lives reached to over 260,000 – doubling the number of inner-city kids who experience the hope and love of Jesus. What happens in that room on June 16th will help determine how many of those children get their chance.

Join us for a beautiful dinner, inspiring stories of God's faithfulness, and the privilege of being someone who changes a child's life forever!
