Our history

At the Table Ministry began as a program in 2019 and officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2024. Founded by Virgil and Tabby Phillips, our organization was born from a passion inspired by Jesus' call in Matthew 25:35-36 to care for others with compassion and selflessness. After serving for six months in South Asia in 2023, where they worked closely with youth at a local school, Virgil and Tabby felt a deepened commitment to pursue this mission in their hometown of Marion County and across the globe.

Our mission

Through Christ, we exist to equip youth with essential needs, mentorship, and life skills, locally and globally.

Our work

Locally, our focus is on equipping youth with essential needs such as food and clothing, mentorship, teaching life skills, and sharing the love of Christ. As we embark on our journey, our initial goal is to provide these fundamental necessities while building a strong foundation and connections within our community.

Globally, we are raising funds to build a futsal (soccer field) in South Asia. This will be used as a place to build relationships with those in the school and in the village with the purpose of sharing the Gospel, praying for one another, and creating a Christ-centered community. We believe this futsal will help us reach people that we wouldn’t typically be able to reach outside of the school.

As we establish our foundation, we will continue to expand our programs, always with the aim of addressing both physical and spiritual needs and helping youth grow into successful, faith-filled individuals.
