Common Life seeks to connect the people of Columbia City to the place we live for the strength of our souls and the flourishing of our neighborhood. We long to see the people of the neighborhood be more relationally connected, engaging in acts of kindness and service, participating in conversations that encourage, and spiritually connected with others in the place we call home.
Not everyone who participates in Common Life finds affinity with all of these longings. And that’s okay.
For some, what will be common is our neighborhood and simply being known within it.
Others may also choose to be part of meaningful conversations and acts of service that enrich us and strengthen our neighborhood.
Others may look to Common Life for times of spiritual and life enrichment.
We encourage people to find common ground, common life in Columbia City, at whatever level they choose.

Common Life embodies what they claim with whole-hearted devotion and an authentic desire to join God’s work of love and restoration in their neighborhood of Colombia City. Its exciting to see what God has done and will continue to do as they embed in the neighborhood, forming and training people to live in the ways of Jesus wherever God sends them.
