Group Lessons

For Sunday School, Children’s Church, Homeschool, Wednesday nights, and Mission Activities

This is for the church basements, the living rooms, the Wednesday night halls that smell like crayons and Goldfish crackers. These group lessons are built for wherever kids gather. Each lesson is rooted in sacred story and childlike wonder, with space for conversation, movement, questions, and art.

Children’s Sermons

For Worship or Children’s Church – short lessons with object examples, Q&A, and storytelling

These short sermons are made for the wiggly pew moments—when kids are invited forward, eyes wide and hands sticky. Each one is crafted with care to fit into your worship time or children's church service. Whether it’s an object lesson, a sacred question, or a tiny moment of holy play, these sermons speak to children in the language they already know: curiosity, story, and wonder.

Group Lessons

For Youth Group, Sunday School, Wednesday Nights, In-Your-Home Bible Studies—anywhere teens are gathered and ready to learn

This is for the couch-sinking, snack-munching, deep-question-asking kind of faith. Whether it’s Sunday morning with donuts or a weeknight gathering in someone’s living room, these small group lessons invite teens into honest conversations about Scripture, identity, belonging, and God’s love that holds them through it all.

Mission Trips & Retreats

For DNOW weekends, Fall retreats, Mystery trips, or Mission adventures in the mountains (or your own backyard)

These resources are made for the big experiences that shape us. With themes, schedules, worship guides, small group prompts, and prayer tools, these kits help you lead retreats and mission trips with depth and intention—without losing sleep or your packing list.

Devotionals

Daily reflections written just for youth—for the journey they’re actually on

Some days, teens need just a little space to breathe. To wonder. To hear that they are loved. These youth devotionals are designed for the in-between moments: on a mission trip bus ride, in a quiet Advent morning, during Lent, or as they count down to graduation. Each one offers a short Scripture reflection, a guiding question, and a closing prayer.

Intergenerational Activities

Because youth need more than just peers

These intergenerational activities invite youth and adults into shared laughter, shared stories, and shared sacred spaces—whether it’s a church-wide kickball game, a discussion table that spans generations, or a game night where no one knows how to play but everyone’s in it together.

Adult & Families

Adult Resources

Group Studies for Small Groups, Bible Studies & Retreats

Some of the most sacred growth happens around tables—over coffee, in living rooms, or gathered away for a retreat weekend.

These studies are designed to spark honest conversation, deep reflection, and meaningful connection. Each lesson includes Scripture, guided discussion questions, and simple practices to help faith meet real life—joy, grief, courage, doubt, and everything in between.

Flexible and easy to adapt, these resources are created to help adults grow in grace together.

Family, Faith & Fun

Home-based faith practices, devotionals, kindness calendars, and meaningful mission ideas

This one’s for the kitchen-table theologians. For the families squeezing in a bit of sacred between school drop-offs and laundry piles. These resources are built to help you live your faith together—not in a perfect way, just in a real one. You’ll find simple devotionals for Advent and Lent, easy-to-do mission projects, noticing calendars, and fun ideas that weave wonder into your everyday rhythms. No prep work required. Just a little intention, a little joy, and maybe some glitter in unexpected places.

Daily Devotionals

Daily Walk: Faith for Real Life

Faith is deeply personal. It grows in quiet moments—before the house wakes up, during a lunch break, or at the end of a long day when you finally have space to think and pray.

These daily devotionals are created to support your personal walk with God. Each one offers Scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you slow down, listen, and draw closer to the One who walks with you through it all.

Just you. God. And the steady rhythm of daily faith.

Parent Discussion Guides

Thoughtful tools to help you talk about faith and life with your kids (of all ages)

You don’t need to have all the answers to have good conversations. These parent discussion guides are here to help you talk about faith, doubt, values, identity, and life’s big questions with the kids you love—whether they’re still in booster seats or calling from college. Designed for honest, grace-filled connection, these guides offer gentle prompts, real-life scenarios, and practical support for the beautiful, awkward, sacred work of spiritual parenting. You’re not in this alone.

Every Church Belongs Here — Yes, Even Yours

Let’s just say it: church budgets can feel like a miracle of loaves and fishes… without the multiplying part. And we really, truly don’t believe money should keep your church from being part of Common Ground. (It’s kind of the whole point. Common. Ground.) If the cost feels like a stretch, please email us for a scholarship.

We don’t turn churches away because of budget. We look for ways to say yes.
Because what you’re building matters. Because your people matter. Because you belong here.
