Dan Kidd
For more than a decade, I’ve helped churches cultivate small group ministries that foster belonging, spiritual maturity, and life together with Jesus. Across denominations and ministry contexts, I’ve led, developed, and trained leaders to form communities marked by depth, honesty, and attentiveness to God’s presence.
Table & Thread grew from a conviction that discipleship doesn’t happen by accident nor in solitude. It is cultivated through careful leadership, intentional practices, and a shared commitment to belong to Christ and to one another.
I hold a Master of Divinity from Ashland Theological Seminary and live in Westerville, Ohio with my wife and two sons.
