Bake for the Table: Communion Bread Classes
You're invited to learn the simple and meaningful practice of baking fresh focaccia bread for communion at Common Ground. These hands-on classes (attend just one) are open to anyone—no baking experience needed—and are for those interested in joining a team that will make communion bread moving forward.
Each class is about 1.5 hours and limited to *only 5 participants—so hurry and grab your spot!

In September, we’ll open signups to join an ongoing Communion Bread Team through the CG App.

Baptism Course
Join us for an in-depth course on the theology, practice, and purpose of baptism. Whether you have been baptized or not, this course is designed for everyone. Together we will look at the baptism of Jesus as well as the Great Commission when Jesus sends his disciples out to teach the Good News, baptizing all who believe. We will discuss New Testament passages from Paul, Peter, and Luke, as well as diving into the practice of the early church and the writings of the Didache.
Our goal is that at the end of this course you would know what the Bible has to say about baptism as well as be prepared to share the good news of Jesus with others.
This course is aimed for adults. Light refreshments will be provided and the course will run about 2 hours. Our hope in this study is to share stories, follow Christ, and train up the body to make disciples. Registration is open!
