Assessment

The Table Church is a 2016 PCA church plant in Lafayette, CO (Boulder area) under Rocky Mountain Presbytery oversight, sent from an Acts 29 Boulder church. Lead Pastor Brad Edwards is widely published (Zondervan Reflective, Mere Orthodoxy, TGC) and won Christianity Today's 2025 Book of the Year for 'The Reason for Church.' He signed the 2020 Warhurst Protest. PCA confessional posture intact; cultural drift flag for Warhurst-signer pastoral leadership and culturally engaged 'secular community' positioning warrants discernment.
