Common Ground Curriculum
Rooted in faith. Growing in love. Living in Hope.
Designed for kids, youth, and families alike, it meets people right where they are with resources built for real life. We believe in the sacred Scriptures—not just as stories of what happened long ago, but as a living word about what God is still doing here and now. Through engaging lessons and honest conversation, we help communities explore faith that matters today.
We’re still growing
Thank you for being here while we build something beautiful (and a little unfinished).
More curriculum and resources are on the way—crafted with care, tested in real life. Good things take time to grow.
Kids Curriculum
Wonder-filled lessons that invite young hearts to discover God’s love—and maybe get a little glitter on their hands.
Youth Curriculum
Honest conversations, big questions, and faith that meets teens right in the middle of their real lives.
Parent & Family Resources
Tools for home-based faith, meaningful conversations, and shared practices—because real life doesn’t stop at the church doors.
Why Common Ground?
Because we believe faith should feel like home—roomy, welcoming, and a little bit sacredly weird sometimes.
Theologically rich (but never stuffy)
Inclusive and accessible
Easy to use—no seminary degree required
Designed for real life: messy, beautiful, sacred, and sometimes silly
We’re here for the church basement moments, the Sunday morning chaos, the late-night campfire chats, and the bedtime faith talks.

Finding God in All Our Feelings
Children’s Sermon
Thessalonians 5:18
Ages: 4-10 years old
Finding God in All Our Feelings is a ready-to-use children’s sermon that helps kids explore their emotions through the lens of faith. Centered on 1 Thessalonians 5:18, this thoughtful and age-appropriate lesson encourages children to name their feelings—happy, sad, nervous, or excited—and trust that God is with them in every one. With simple questions, Scripture reflection, and a closing prayer, it’s perfect for Sunday worship, children’s church, or any moment when you want to remind kids that God’s love meets us right where we are.
Advent 2025: The Light of Joy
An Advent Journey for Kids, Youth, and Families
4 Lessons
Advent isn’t a season of sitting still—it’s a time of leaning forward, waiting with hope, and watching for light to break through the darkness. This year, The Light of Joy invites all ages to look for where God’s light is already shining—in Scripture, in the world, and in each of us. Whether you’re a child just learning the stories, a teenager navigating life’s busyness, or a family searching for a rhythm of peace and wonder, Advent offers space to breathe, notice, and celebrate that God is near.
