We’re trying to do something different at Common Ground. We live in a time when so many people in our culture feel displaced, disheartened, disillusioned, and disengaged with church. We totally get it. We've been wrestling with different ideas about church too. At Common Ground, we aim to cultivate a community of disciples who are about God’s transformational work in the world. 

There are folks from all walks of life and denominational backgrounds joining us at Common Ground. You see, we are all misfits, looking for community and purpose. We believe that at the cross, we all stand on common ground.

Faced with the same brokenness, we have one hope, Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. And we all have one mission, to parter with God in transforming the lives of our neighbors, our community, and our world. 

We aim to cultivate a new expression of church in Covington and Newton County. One that celebrates our diversity, and rejoices in the ties that bind us together. We gather to pray, sing, read scripture, say creeds, and learn. And as we grow together in partnership with God, we find common ground.

mission

We are to live a "sent" life just as Jesus was sent to us. We aim to partner with God in His redemptive “rescue mission” of all of creation.
matthew 28:18-19

formation

In order to best embody Christ in the world, we must continue to be formed through learning, prayer, and spiritual practices.
romans 12:1-2

community

We believe that humanity is wired for community. This is God's design for life and ministry. By growing closer to God, we grow closer together.
1 john 1:3-7
