Geneva UMC pastor Rev. Rob Hamilton said, “Pub Theology is where deep questions and honest dialogue meet good drinks and new friendships. This is an open table for people of all backgrounds and beliefs to explore big ideas in a welcoming and curious community.

“Attendees will find respectful, thoughtful conversation — no lectures, no pressure, no preaching. Come ready to share, listen, and grow. We sit together, ask good questions, and enjoy each other’s company. Bring your whole self-doubts, beliefs, humor, and humanity included,” Pastor Hamilton said.
