Doing life in community.

Re-imagining spaces where everyone can belong.

 

Welcome to CO-OPS at Common Good!

CO-OPS are smaller to mid-sized gatherings that take place throughout the week in homes, coffee shops, restaurants, parks and even virtually online.

These gatherings are re-imagining spaces for face-to-face connection that cultivate shared ownership, meaningful relationships, and aren’t limited to church buildings and geography. They create an inviting and inclusive place — one that’s accessible to everyone, no matter who you are, what you believe, where you come from, or who you know.

CO-OPS gather around different shared interests, season of life, geography, or even causes and engage together in various activities such as discussing sermons, bible studies, topical discussions, sharing meals and enjoying recreational activities.

If you’re interested in doing life together in community, CO-OPS are the place for you.

We welcome people in any season of life, but we’re particularly family-friendly, meaning the kids currently outnumber the adults. Our kids are an integral part of our co-op life, so we organize time for them to learn, discuss, and play. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month, with opportunities built in for the adults to hang out outside of those gatherings. We’re an informal, friendly bunch, and we look forward to meeting you!

    • About: Hey I'm Linda. I started leading a co-op during the pandemic when everything was virtual, and found that it was a lifeline for people to feel connected and in community, even when we were geograhpially in different places and also in different places spiritually. This group is for people especially who prefer digital spaces, and who might not be physically mobile or live in a different geographic region. Our group is a mix of belivers and seekers, so come with your questions!

    About: Hello, I’m Jason! This fresh, new co-op is specifically for those who identify (or even questioning their identity) with the LGBTQIA+ community. As a gay cis-man, the continued reckoning of my faith and sexual identity is difficult, long and at times lonely. Common Good Co-ops have opened up a space for me to come as I am to be met with acceptance and support in this reckoning. Let’s create a brave, safe space for LGBTQIA+ to have that too. Come as you are with your questions, your hurt, your joy. Come to heal, to challenge, to lament, to laugh. There’s no set structure, nor do I have all the answers to all questions. But I can provide snacks!
