All 6th-12th grade students and their parents are welcome on September 3rd for a fun night together! We will eat dinner altogether, then parents will head up to the Sanctuary for an info meeting with plans for the fall while Students head to the Copper Shop for their discussion. Questions? Reach out to Andrew at andrew@commongroundva.com. 

On the first Wednesday of every month, CG is hosting a morning prayer gathering. We will gather in the Commons from 6-7am with coffee provided, feel free to come as you can. All men and women welcome, friends invited as well!

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!

All participants will receive a starter kit of bread flour, yeast, and salt—a gift from Common Ground to help you begin baking at home.

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

You can sign up through the CG App today! 

Whether you're a seasoned baker or just curious, come join us in preparing something that feeds both body and soul.

We will have a beautiful liturgy of baptism after church on Sunday, August 24th at 12:30pm for all those who desire to be baptized into Christ. 

If you are ready for this step, please register here and contact Pastor Gregg or Pastor Melissa as soon as possible so we can get you ready! 

If you are planning on being baptized, please plan to bring with you: 
- A towel 
- Water shoes (if desired, the river can be rocky)
- Clothes to be baptized in (swimsuit/t-shirt and shorts is fine)
- Change of clothes if you wish 

What’s baptism all about? Why did Jesus do it? And why does it still matter today?

Join us for a fun, hands-on course where kids will discover the meaning, magic, and mystery of baptism—the way Jesus showed us to start our faith journey! We’ll explore Bible stories, learn about how the early church celebrated baptism, and hear how this special step connects us to God and our church family.

Whether you’re thinking about baptism or just curious, this course is for you. Parents are welcome to come along too! Let’s dive deep, ask questions, and celebrate God’s love together.

Come ready to learn, laugh, and take the next step with Jesus!

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!
