The History of Sopchoppy Community Dinner
Our Origin
In 2018, Sopchoppy Community Dinner was founded through the Sopchoppy United Methodist Church to provide free meals and an open community to the WHOLE community, not just believers. The meals would be free, and after there would be a brief spiritual message.
The Shutdown
Much to our dismay during 2020 we thought it best to close down during covid-19. This was due in part to the church itself closing its doors during that time, as well as a concern for the health and wellbeing of our members. However this is not where our story ends.

The Return
In October 2022 many of the original members of the Sopchoppy Community Dinner began meeting again and reopened the dinner. Now independent from any specific church, we get the meals from out lovely members, and several local churches and are happy to server you again!
How Our Nights Work
5:30pm - Volunteers Arrive
Many of our kind and generous volunteers arrive and begin preparing the building for dinner that night. Doing the setup to make that evening a success!
6:00pm - Food Arrives
Most of our volunteers have now arrived with food, whether that be provided by a local church or our team, the food and drinks are set out and the whole operation is prayed over. Many visitors also begin arriving.
6:30pm - Dinner Time
Dinner begins! All of the food and drinks are setup, the food is prayed over by either a local pastor, or a member of our volunteer team, and the night truly begins. Any and all are welcome.
7:00pm - A Brief Word
There is a brief message about Christ provided by a member of our team, or one of the many local pastors in attendance. This message is intended to be an insight into what we believe as Christians, but a key point of this dinner is it's openness, you need not be Christian to attend, and there is no obligation to stay for this message.
7:30pm - Wrap Up
As most of our guests begin leaving, many of our volunteers start to cleanup and shutdown another successful dinner!
