​

​This God, who displays Himself in Christ & defines Himself as Grace – ​The One who freely offers ​uncommon Life & unconditional Love to answer the core need of every person that breathes & moves around in this beautiful but fallen world… 

​

This God who evokes wonder, & questions, & what ifs… This God has been visiting Common Ground.

​

This God who is in all places at all times has undeniably been setting up shop on this expanse of acreage. And the collaborations & stories resulting in God hanging out here have been consistently good, surprisingly imaginative, & simply epic. The steady stream of stories & life-bettering occurrences are what led to dedicating these 93 acres to the mission and visitors of this extraordinary, yet ordinary, beautiful plot of land. 

​

Common Ground’s mission is to help connect people to God, to each other, & to nature in ways that help them encounter the embrace of Jesus.

​

No matter who you are or where you are on the spiritual map, we’re inviting you to visit. ​Come alone or bring your dog, kid, or companions. Get on the land, walk the trail, ​visit the chapel, ​talk to God, & see what happens.

 

Common Ground is stewarded by First United  Methodist Church  
And is a collaborative partner of  24-7 Prayer via the Charlotte Prayer Room
