The Banquet

About The Banquet

A Ministry for the Bismarck-Mandan community.

Originating at Trinity Lutheran Church in 2005 under the direction of Pastor Steve Sathre, The Banquet's mission has always been to serve a free, hot meal to those who need one. Today, The Banquet is served at Trinity Hall in the Dream Center (1805 Park Ave, Bismarck) seven days a week! Good Shepherd has special interest in the Dream Center as our GSLC Endowment approved two grants; one for their security system and the other for special ovens to be used in Karla’s Kitchen. Our members also take on the responsibility of preparing the food, baking desserts and serving the meal eight times out of the year!
