Community Life

Life is best lived when it is lived with others! Wouldn't you agree? God wired each of us to need each other because in relationship, we can encourage, help, and challenge each other.

Our Community Life ministry is designed to help you join Common Ground in our vision for "pursuing life as family through Jesus" and take this journey with others. We want to be the type of ministry where no one stands alone. 

To find out how to join Common Ground, click here.

The best way we get connected here at Common Ground is through joining a group. Check out our groups below!

Community Groups

These groups focus on fellowship, spiritual support, prayer, and applying God’s Word in daily life.  They meet weekly for 10 weeks during the Fall and Spring, in various areas of the city, on a variety of nights.  They usually last about 90 minutes.  Some groups have certain characteristics (i.e. Gender specific, families…)
