CGC Summer Schedule

CGC Summer Schedule

From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend (May 24 – September 6), we will be moving to a one-service schedule for the summer. During this time, we will meet for one service at 10:00 AM.

We know summer is often a season of travel and changing rhythms, so we want to be intentional about creating space for community. Our hope is that this schedule allows us to stay connected and gather together in a meaningful way throughout the summer.

We’re looking forward to this season and all that God will do!

Men’s Retreat

Men’s Retreat

Calling all men! Mark your calendars for Friday, August 21st, through Saturday, August 22nd, for the Common Ground Church Men's Retreat: The Forge at Glorieta Adventure Camps.

Cost:

- $115 per person through July 31

- $125 per person after August 1st

"As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." — Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV)

Life has a way of shaping us, but God desires to forge us into men of strength, character, and faith. At The Forge, we'll spend time building authentic relationships, encouraging one another, and allowing God to refine us through His Word and through community.

Just as iron is strengthened through the forging process, we are strengthened when we walk alongside other men who challenge us, support us, and point us toward Christ. Whether you're new to your faith or have been following Jesus for years, this retreat is an opportunity to step away from the distractions of everyday life and focus on what God is doing in and through you.

Join us for a weekend of connection, growth, and encouragement as we are FORGED together.

Grounded

Grounded

Grounded is for anyone who has attended our Family Dinner and is ready to take the next step in becoming part of our spiritual family.

In this two-week class, you'll learn more about who we are as a church, why we exist, what we believe, our leadership, church structure, philosophy of ministry, culture, and what it means to become a member at Common Ground.

Our desire is for you to be rooted in Christ and connected to the life of the church. Following Grounded, you'll be equipped to take your next step—whether that's becoming a church member, serving on a team, joining a small group, or continuing to grow in your faith.

At Common Ground, we believe the Church is more than a place you attend—it's a family you belong to. We believe church members are called to be active contributors, using the gifts, time, and talents God has given them to build His Kingdom and serve others. We want to help you discover how God has uniquely designed you and find your place in His Church.

Grounded meets over two consecutive Sundays from 8:45 AM - 9:45 AM in the Church Office.

Our next class will be Sunday, September 13th & 20th. 

We can't wait to help you get grounded, connected, and growing as part of the Common Ground family.
