Outreach
The Banquet Parable
Inspired by Jesus’ teaching in Luke 14:8–24, The Banquet Parable is KCO’s year-round outreach mission to create spaces, both physical and spiritual, where everyone has a seat at the table.
We serve Jacksonville in two core ways:
The Great Banquet Project: Our large community-wide banquet that offers food, fellowship, prayer, and hope to families and individuals in need.
The Traveling Table: Mobile pop-up events that bring meals, prayer, resources, and kindness into neighborhoods across the city.
When you shop our fundraiser tees, you are not only buying a shirt. You are helping set the table for someone in need.
A Heart-Led Outreach Movement
The Banquet Parable is the outreach branch of KCO. Our mission is to meet real needs with compassion, dignity, and the love of Christ.
Inspired by the teaching in Luke 14, we show kindness to the overlooked, the underserved, and the unhoused through monthly giving events and consistent community support.
What We Do
• Gift Bag Pop-Ups with hygiene kits, snacks, water, socks, and essentials
• Seasonal Giving Events with holiday meals, winter gear, and family support
• Clothing and Food Drives that collect and distribute items directly to the community
• Community Connection through prayer, encouragement, and relationship building
