Common Ground Recovery Community

Common Ground is a compassionate, spiritual community that embraces the worthiness and brokenness of all people. That’s probably everyone!

As a recovery community we are exploring the "common ground" that lies beneath the 12-steps and an inclusive Christian faith. Common Ground Recovery Community is a community dedicated to recovering by faith, growing together in grace, and serving by sharing the abundance of God. We support individuals and families recovering from addiction, abuse, mental illness, homelessness, loss, and the hurts

and hang-ups of life. We offer programs that educate about addiction and recovery, small groups that provide support, Bible studies that deepen our faith, and worship experiences that inspire hope and healing. In affirming God’s love we welcome all people to our spiritual community. Wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome at Common Ground.
