About Lantern
How Lantern started
With a pot of soup in 2017. Here’s our story, what we believe and who leads us.
Our story
It started with soup
In 2017, Nate and Ivy started making soup on Sunday evenings for anyone in their building who wanted company. Somebody brought a guitar. Somebody asked if they could read the Bible together. Somebody else brought their roommate. By the end of the year there were forty people in a one-bedroom apartment, and the landlord had questions.
We moved into the old print works on Lamplight Row in 2019. We still start every Sunday with dinner, and the soup recipe hasn’t changed.
What we believe
What we believe
01
Jesus
He is the light of the world, and the darkness hasn’t put him out (John 1).
02
God’s table
He invites everyone to his feast, especially people on the outside.
03
The Bible
We read it together, ask questions out loud and let it have the final word.
04
Nobody eats alone
Every new person gets introduced to someone at their table.
05
Passing it on
We try to carry what we’ve been given into the rest of the week.
