About Us

At our church, we keep things real and laid-back—perfect for first-time visitors or anyone who's felt out of place before. Our goal is to create a relaxed, welcoming vibe where you can just come as you are. The music? It's a live band playing tunes you'll recognize so no hymn books here. And don’t worry, we don’t use confusing "church talk." We speak in a way that makes sense—just like everyday conversation.


We're a church for regular people—those who might have questions about God but feel unsure about traditional church experiences. If you've got doubts, messiness, or feel like you don’t quite fit in elsewhere, you’re welcome here. We know we're not everyone's cup of tea, but we might just be yours!

Our Values

At Common Ground, everything we do is rooted in love, grace, and a heart for bringing people back to God. We believe in creating space for second chances and welcoming those who feel far from home, just as God seeks ways to bring the banished back. Our community is built on Jesus' call to love one another deeply, showing the world who we are by how we care for each other. As the Apostle Paul reminds us, love is the most excellent way—and it’s at the core of who we are.


“But God does not take away life, but devises ways in which the banished person may return.”

2 Samuel 14:14


“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

John 13:34-35

The Jesus Style

Our Beliefs

The life, death, resurrection, and teachings of Jesus Christ are the core of our community.

  • The Scriptures

    We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.

  • God

    We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the lost world.

  • Humanity

    We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.

  • Salvation

    We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.

  • The Christian Life

    We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.

  • The Church

    We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to the lost world.
