Common Ground Youth Ministries

Common Ground: a basis or foundation, belonging equally to or shared by all.

I once heard a wise teacher say that relationships are the root of every problem in the world. Have you ever thought about that? Relationship is the common ground that we all stand on, whether it's a relationship with God, our parents, a boyfriend/girlfriend or even ourselves. We are all in relationship. Our hope then at Common Ground is that all would strive to be in right relationship with God, themselves and others. Through Jesus, this is possible.

Our Vision:

Students being grounded in Christ through biblical truth
Students putting their faith into action
Creating environments that cultivate authentic, healthy relationships (with God, peers, parents and leaders)
Students taking ownership (not just being an attendee)
Partnering with parents in their God-given role to raise up their children in the way they should go

Young Life - http://www.younglife.org/

Picture a sea of teenage faces in a crowded school hallway. Some kids are trying to blend in; some are being carried along by the crowd; others are deliberately swimming against the tide. All of them are trying to find their way in a culture that is crowded with the noise and glare of media messages and peer expectations.Young Life seeks to carry the message of Jesus Christ into that tumultuous tide and points teenagers toward life as they were created to live it. Since 1941, the dynamic that has characterized Young Life is its commitment to relationships - Young Life leaders meeting kids on their turf in the interest of friendship. As leaders get to know teenagers, they are able to share the love of Jesus Christ through platforms like Young Life club, Campaigners and trips to camp. Whether kids are seeking answers or just acceptance, Young Life is there for them, armed with a desire for fun and the ultimate message of hope.
