St. Lydia's is a progressive, LGBTQ-affirming church congregation based in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn that describes itself as 'a church where life is lived out around the table.' Its central practice is Dinner Church, in which members share a communal meal alongside unaccompanied singing, scripture reading, and prayer, complemented by a family-oriented Waffle Church gathering. The congregation emphasizes shared practice over fixed doctrine, welcoming participants regardless of their existing beliefs, with a stated mission to dispel isolation, reconnect neighbors, and subvert the status quo. It also hosts visiting groups from schools and other congregations and makes its space available for community events.
