We are a friendly, unfussy church in the heart of the neighborhood. Come hungry — for breakfast, for belonging, for the good news that ties it all together.

What happens here

Four ways we gather.

Breakfast Table

Every Sunday, before the service, we share breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, strong coffee, and conversation. All welcome, always free.

Open Garden

Our community garden is open daily. Members and neighbors tend it together — the produce goes to our pantry and shared dinners.

Pantry & Porch

A free-take pantry on the corner of our building. No forms, no questions. Restocked Tuesdays and Saturdays by volunteers.

Front Porch Night

Last Friday of every month: live acoustic music on the front porch, kids running around, ice cream from the cart. Rain or shine.

“Common Ground felt like home by our second visit. Someone saved us a seat, remembered our kids' names, and invited us to breakfast. Still does.”

— The Alvarez Family, Members since 2019
